Micelles enhance catalytic reactions by creating a microenvironment that can encapsulate reactants, facilitating their interaction and conversion. The catalytic activity is influenced by several factors:
1. Concentration of Surfactants: Higher concentrations can lead to better encapsulation and increased reaction rates. 2. Temperature and pH: These parameters affect micelle stability and the efficiency of the catalytic process. 3. Nature of Surfactants: The type of surfactants used can tailor the micellar environment to specific catalytic needs.
