Fluorescence Quenching and the Study of Micellar Systems: Possibilities and Limitations of the Method

  • Chapter
Surfactants in Solution

Abstract

The fluorescence quenching method, as applied to the study of molecular organizates, particularly aqueous micelles and microemulsions, is presented. The importance of fluorescence probing, for the determination of static as well as dynamic micellar parameters, is emphasized. The fluorescence decay of a micelle-bound hydrophobic fluorophor in the presence of “immobile”,“hydrophobic mobile” and“hydrophilic mobile“ quenchers is discussed in detail. The reliability of the parameters obtained from the time-resolved fluorescence quenching method is evaluated, while on the other hand, systems in which this method must be applied with extreme caution are described. The main conclusions concerning fluorescence probing techniques and their application to micellar solutions are summarized.
