Physicochemical investigation of mixed surfactant reverse micelles: Water solubilization and conductometric studies

- Mixed ionic/nonionic reverse micelles exhibit synergism in solubilization capacity.
- Hydrophobic moiety and head group of nonionic's affect the solubilization phenomena.
- Solubilization of water in oil(s) is more stabilized in isopropyl palmitate.
- Solubilization efficiency parameter has been evaluated to underline efficacy of the oils.
- Structure of polar lipophilic oils influences water solubilization and related phenomena.
