Solubilization is a process of increasing the solubility of a substance in a solvent, typically by using surfactants or other solubility-enhancing agents. This research area focuses on understanding the factors that influence the solubility of different substances, as well as developing methods to improve solubility for various applications such as drug delivery, food processing, and environmental remediation. Researchers in this field may investigate the mechanisms of solubilization, the physicochemical properties of solubilized compounds, and the potential effects of solubilization on the behavior of substances in different environments.
