Abstract
The Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements have been performed on quercetin with dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT, AOT), Triton X-100 in 1,4-dioxane, as well as on the solutions containing water in the core of suitable reversed micelles; the water amount was calculated using the relation R = [H2O]/[surfactant], defining the ratio of water to surfactant concentration. The amount of quercetin in the studied systems as well as the effects of the water presence on the size of the micelles and diffusion effects were discussed. A significant effect of the research was the determination of the maximum amount of water that can be introduced into the AOT micelles in the studied systems.
