Micelle - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBMicelles are amphiphilic colloidal structures, with particle diameters from 5 to 100 nm range. Micelles consist of molecules containing two completely different regions that have opposite affinities against water. These amphiphilic molecules, which form the micelles, associate at certain temperatures and in appropriate concentrations.
