Abstract

Reverse micelles are supramolecular assemblies of surfactants formed in nonpolar solvents, in which the polar head groups of the surfactants point inward and the hydrocarbon chains point toward to the nonpolar medium. Vesicles are spherical aggregates formed in water, in which the bilayer surrounds an aqueous void volume that can be “loaded” with a wide variety of water-soluble marker or non-polar molecules. Catanionic surfactants are a class of amphiphile which result from the equimolar mixture of a cationic and an anionic surfactant, where the salt formed by the counterions is removed In this contribution we will introduce the concepts of different organized media and, the kind of molecules that form this kind of systems.
