Methylene Blue, Reversed Micelles, Water Content, Solubilization The solubilization of methylene blue in dodecylammonium propionate reversed micelles in cyclohexane depended strongly on the solubilized water content. Methylene blue solubilized in the micelle of which head groups are not completely hydrated by bound water exhibited the new absorption bands at 495 and 270 nm, but these bands did ...
