Water structure around surfactant micelles
Abstract: This proposal constitutes a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials are composited of ordered arrays of surfactant micelles encapsulated in an inorganic matrix. After removal of the surfactant component, an ordered array of nanopores remains in the inorganic matrix which can be used in many applications from catalysis to solar cells to drug delivery. We have been working on the formation mechanisms of these materials in particular to understand the earliest interactions between the inorganic species and surfactant micelles as they initially interact in solution. This proposal will concentrate on understanding the water structure around the micelles normally used to template these materials. This is an important first step to understanding how displacement of water from the micelle surface may occur during templating.
