The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $230,000 collaborative research grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Depauw University and Colorado State University. This 3-year project, led by Professors Nancy Levinger and Bridget Gourley, will investigate the impact of molecular additives on the structure and dynamics of water confined within reverse micelles. The research will employ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence methods, and light scattering to explore how the addition of alkanols and alkanoic acids affects the behavior of these nanoscale solvent environments. The findings could provide fundamental insights into confined solvents that have applications in areas ranging from drug discovery to environmental remediation. The project will also provide research opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, contributing to the development of the scientific workforce.
