Micelle

A micelle or micella is an aggregate of surfactant amphipathic lipid molecules dispersed in a liquid, forming a colloidal suspension. A typical micelle in water forms an aggregate, with the hydrophili

In colloidal chemistry, a micellar solution consists of a dispersion of micelles in a solvent. Micelles are made of molecules that are attracted to both water and oily solvents, known as amphiphiles.
