Photochemistry in microheterogeneous systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:5973598
The author states that this monograph was written to provide an introduction to the subject of photochemistry in microheterogeneous systems for the student at the graduate level and to review the recent significant developments in the field. The book is organized according to various types of microheterogeneous systems and discusses representative photochemistry and photophysics in each. The author's definition of a microheterogeneous system, one that is heterogeneous at the microscopic level with charged interfaces in hydrophilic or hydrophobic domains, is interpreted very liberally. Surfactant-based systems are emphasized, but non-amphiphilic media such as thermotropic liquid crystals, zeolites, and polymers are covered, also. Clathrates and neat or doped crystals are not mentioned although there have been significant research efforts employing them.
