This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 in funding to Colorado State University for a 3-year collaborative research project investigating the impact of alcohols and carboxylic acids on the formation and properties of reverse micelles. Professors Nancy Levinger and Bridget Gourley will lead a team that uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence methods, and dynamic light scattering to explore how the addition of these molecular additives affects the structure and dynamics of water confined within reverse micelle structures. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into the behavior of confined solvents, which could have applications in fields like drug discovery and environmental remediation. The project will also engage graduate and undergraduate students, contributing to workforce development in this scientific domain.
