Effect of structure in charge on radiation-induced reactions in micellar systems

A study of radiation-induced reactions in micellar systems included the following topics: location of the probe molecule in the micelle, reaction of noncharged species in micelles, external quenching of pyrene fluorescence, reaction of e/sub aq/-, and photoionization. The effect of charge and structure on reactions induced by low or high-energy photons or fast electrons was ascertained. A comparison of the micellar data with data from homogeneous solutions can be used to provide micellar structure information and reaction details
