Abstract

The application of micelles as a drug carrier for chemical reaction processes was investigated from the viewpoint of process intensification. The effects of ultrasonic stimulation and thermal stimulation on the effluence of internal hydrophobic dye from Pluronic micelles were investigated by measuring the absorbance of sample solutions. Internal substances could be released from the micelle rapidly by ultrasonic irradiation, and the ultrasonic physical effect is important for the effluence of internal substances. The possibility of new chemical reaction process using Pluronic micelles as a reactant carrier is revealed.
