Reactions in Compartmentalized Liquids

The concept "Compartmentalized Liquids" summarizes very different microstructured liquid systems, such as microemulsions, micellar solutions, colloidal dispersions and vesicles and membranes in solution. All these systems contain large internal interfaces which enable and catalyze very different reactions in many fields of chemistry. The book publishes lectures presented at a meeting of the "Fast Reactions in Solution"--Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry held at the Centre of Interdisciplinary Research, Bielefeld. Because of the interdisciplinarity of the audience, the authors emphasize the principles and the general background of their research. The Plenary lectures review the applications of microemulsions as liquid media for chemical reactions (M. Kahlweit), the effect of fractal geometry on chemical reactions (P. Meakin), elementary reaction at interfaces (F. Wilkinson) and fast reactions in pharmacy (J. Crooks). Further contributions report on reactions in compartmentalized liquids in the fields of physical chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics and food research.
