description

The state of acetamide nanoparticles encapsulated in the hydrophilic core of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) reversed micelles and dispersed in CCl4 has been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The analysis of the vibrational spectra reveals even at the higher acetamide to AOT molar ratio some changes of the typical H-bonded structure of solid acetamide ascribable to their small size, confinement effects, and acetamide-AOT head group interactions. The stretching modes of acetamide CO and AOT sulfonate groups indicate unambiguously specific acetamide-AOT head group interactions.
