Abstract:
Present results demonstrate that the redox potential and hence the chemical reactivity of a solute dissolved in a polymer-surfactant supramolecular assembly, considered as a nanoreactor, can be tuned substantially by changing the composition of the supramolecular assembly. It is understood from detailed study that, on changing the polymer-surfactant composition of the supramolecular assembly, the probe undergoes a change in its location in these nanoreactors and accordingly its physical and chemical properties can be modulated.

Precipitate Formation and Particle Size Control
The obtained precipitate should be either a pure substance of known composition or easily converted to one by a simple process, such as ignition or drying. In addition, the precipitate should be insoluble and easily filterable. In general, filterability...
