• reaction [17], we have carried out the reaction in reverse micelles and found that the formose reaction in reverse micelles does not show the induction period. This letter thus describes the formose reaction accelerated in reverse micelles. In this study, we have used reverse micelles of anionic aerosol OT

• and Beckmann in 1991, through the synthesis of fluorinated AOT (Aerosol-OT, sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate) analogues and the observation of Windsor II microemulsions [26]. Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable dispersions of two or more immiscible/partially miscible fluids which are stabilised

• Zn2+) on Aerosol OT in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions has been investigated [101]. A range of aggregate morphologies was characterised through SANS, with Na(AOT), Mg(AOT)2 and Ca(AOT)2 forming spherical micelles with reduced viscosities of around 2.5 cm3 g−1 in comparison to rod-shaped micelles
