Abstract
The pulse technique despite its relatively high accuracy has limited applicability in studying chemical relaxations in micellar systems. At room temperature, only micelles consisting of 6–8 carbon atoms in monomer length show relaxation frequencies within the usual 10–150 MHz frequency range of the pulse technique. At higher temperatures and in different solvents, it is sometimes possible to shift the relaxation frequency for more voluminous micelles into this range. For example, cetyldimethyl-benzylammonium chloride micelles in molten pyridinium chloride at 155°C gave a1 concentration-independent relaxation frequency fc of 42 ± 7 MHz.
