A novel prepurification method was developed aiming at increasing yield and purity, also reducing solvent usage for purification of paclitaxel. This method was a simple and efficient procedure, for the isolation and prepurification of paclitaxel from the biomass of Taxus chinensis, consisting of micelle formation, followed by two steps of precipitation. The use of a micelle and precipitation in the prepurification process allows for rapid separation of paclitaxel from interfering compounds and dramatically reduces solvent usage compared to alternative methodologies. This prepurification process serves to minimize the size and complexity of the HPLC operations for paclitaxel purification. This process is readily scalable to a pilot plant and eventually to a production environment where multikilogram quantities of material are expected to be produced. As much as possible, the process has been optimized to minimize solvent usage, complexity, and operating costs.

In this article, we considered shear-induced microstructure and rheological behavior of micellar solutions of cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in the presence of a structure-forming additive, sodium salicylate (NaSal). Shear viscosity, shear moduli and flow birefringence were measured as functions of the surfactant and additive concentrations. In the presence of NaSal, the micellar solution exhibited the non-linear rheological behavior due to the formation of supramolecular structures when the molar ratio of NaSal to CPC exceeded a certain threshold value. Flow birefringence probed the change in micelle alignment under shear flow. At low shear rates, the flow birefringence increased as the shear rate increased. On the other hand, fluctuation of flow birefringence appeared from the shear rate near the onset of shear thickening, which was caused by shear-induced coagulation or aggregation. These results were confirmed by the SEM images of in situ gelified micelle structure through sol-gel route.

In this study, an effective fluorescence pH sensor based on conjugated polyelectrolyte micelles (CPMs) was devised for detecting extremely acidic conditions. An amphiphilic coumarin derivative (CC12-N), a building block, was prepared, into which an ionizable amino group, aryl amine, was incorporated as a potential hydrophilic moiety. This monomer displays self-assembled micelle formation in extremely acidic pH ranges, giving a hydrophobic π-extended conjugated system at the inner part and hydrophilic functionality at the periphery, resulting in efficient fluorescence intensity enhancement. This new micelle-based fluorescence provides an efficient sensing platform for detecting very low pH values in the presence of competing substances.

The hollow $SiO_2$ spheres with uniform size were synthesized by a modified Stober method under the control of polyelectrolytes (PSS and PAA) as templates. This synthetic route includes the formation of spherical colloid micelle in ethanol solution, hydrolysis of TEOS under control of ammonia, and the removal of polyelectrolyte by washing or calcination. Hollow silica spheres with controllable core diameters between 100 and 270 nm and wall thickness between 15 and 50 nm have been synthesized. The influence of template solution concentration and solvent and dispersant on the formation of silica hollow spheres is studied and reported in detail.

Selected MPEG-b-PDLLA block copolymers have been synthesized by ring-opening polymerization with systematic variation of the chain lengths of the resident hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks. The size and shape of the micelles that spontaneously form in solution are then controlled by the characteristics of the block copolymer template. All the materials prepared in this study showed the tunable pore size of 20-80 ${\AA}$ with the increase of hydrophobic chain lengths and up to 660 $m^2$/g of specific surface area. The formation mechanism of these nanoporous structures obtained by controlling the micelle size has been confirmed using both liquid and solid state $^{13}C\;and\;^{29}Si$ NMR techniques. This work verifies the formation mechanism of nanoporous structures in which the pore size and wall thickness are closely dependent on the size of hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells of the block copolymer templates.

The formation of polyaniline (PANI) in the reverse micelles of poly(oxyethylene) nonylphenyl ether, $(NP5, H(CH_2)_9Ph(OC_2H_4)_5OH)$, was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The reverse micellar solution containing initiators in the inner part of reverse micelle was prepared with surfactant (NP5), water, cyclohexane and an initiator (ammonium persulfate (APS)). The core-shell sphere model containing smearing effect reveals that the polymerization occurs on the shell layer of the reverse micelles. Shell thickness averages varied from 48 $\AA$ to 109 $\AA$ with increases of monomer concentration.

On the basis of the principle of Bratch's electronegativity equalization, we calculated group partial charges and group electronegativities for nonionic surfactants with Pauling's elecoonegativity parameters by using numerical calculation method. From calculated outputs we have investigated structural stability of micelle, characteristics of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, and relation between CMC(Critical Micelle Concentraion) and group partial charge and group electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups for nonionic surfactants. We have known that CMC by micelle formation depends upon group partial charge and group electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups for surfactants. Also, the structural stability of micelle in H2O solution is related to the electric double layer by the hydrophilic group of nonionic surfactants with H atoms in water CMC is diminished by the decrease of repeating units in hydrophilic group at constant hydrophobic group and is diminished by the increments of alkyl chains in hydrophobic group at constant hydrophilic group for nonionic surfactants. In conclusion, CMC is diminished because there is no electrostatic repulsion and is diminished of Debye length by the increments of partial charge of hydrophobic group.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of surfactant micelles on lipid oxidation in W/O/W multiple emulsions. The content of ferric irons and hydroperoxide in the continuous phase in W/O/W multiple emulsions was measured as a function of Brij micelle. The concentration of ferric iron and hydroperoxide in the continuous phase increased with increased storage time (1~6 days). Lipid oxidation rates, as determined by the formation of lipid hydroperoxides, TBARs and headspace hexanal, in the W/O/W multiple emulsions containing ferric iron decreased when 3% surfactant micelles were exceeded. These results indicate that excess surfactant micelles could alter the physical location and prooxidant activity of iron in W/O/W multiple emulsions.

In order to find out the microscopic environmental information on the nonionic reverse micelle of Triton X-100/n-hexanol/water in cyclohexane, an absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic study has been conducted using a methylene blue(MB). The information on the microscopic states of water in the polar core of the reverse micelle has been found by investigating complex formation and solvatochromic behavior between MB and Triton X-100. As a result, it was found that there exist three states in the polar core of the reverse micelle. The measured values of $W(=[H_2O]/[Surf])$ for the three states of water are 0.71, 4.98, and 7.26, and the corresponding lifetimes of MB are $15.45 ns{\pm}0.56$, $12.27 ns{\pm}0.79$, and $8.28 ns{\pm}0.82$, respectively.
