Streszczenie

Spin labeling EPR methods were applied to characterize the local microviscosity and micropolarity of micellar aggregates formed by 3-(alkanoylamino)ethyldimethylamine-N-oxides (alkyl = nonyl, undecyl and tridecyl) in an aqueous environment in the temperature range 297–337 K. Four doxylstearic derivatives: 5-doxylstearate methyl ester (5-DSE), 16-doxylstearate methyl ester (16-DSE), 5-doxylstearic acid (5-DSA) and 16-doxylstearic acid (16-DSA) were used as spin probes to monitor mainly the rotational correlation time τ R and the isotropic hyperfine splitting constant A N. In the case of anisotropic spectra, the order parameter S was also determined. The selected probes were found to be sensitive to the microenvironments whereby it was possible to characterize in detail local changes in composition and micelle formation.
