AB  - The non-ionic polyoxyethylene chain-containing surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100) 
      forms well-defined micelles and reverse micelles in aqueous and hydrocarbon 
      media, respectively. Nonradiative energy transfer between two charged fluorescent 
      dyes, fluorescein (FL) and acridine orange (AO) has been used to probe the 
      micelles and reverse micelles of TX-100. In the energy transfer system employed, 
      FL acts as the donor and AO as the acceptor. This is borne out by the 
      fluorescence spectral data. Time-resolved studies further corroborate the 
      steady-state results. As the fluorescence emission spectra of the two dyes show a 
      considerable amount of overlap, they are resolved into individual donor and 
      acceptor components using the principal component analysis (PCA) method. This 
      study also focuses on the more important role played by hydrophobic forces 
      (compared with electrostatic interactions) in promoting energy transfer between 
      charged species in micellar media.
