Abstract
The role of surfactants in the formation of nanoparticles is due to th e compartmentalization offered by host surfactant assemblies. They aff ect the growth and particle characteristics significantly. The prepara tion of Cu2S nanoparticles in reverse micelle and CuS in aqueous micel lar hosts has been described. It indicates that different surfactant s ystems can mediate to give different products even though the basic ch emistry is the same. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
