micelle

Look in a reference book for the term "micelle."

Small amounts of monomer diffuse through the water to the micelle.

Light scattering should not be a concern due to the small size, a few nanometers, of the micelle.

This will not work for oil-surfactants however because of the aforementioned micelle formation.

At this point the monomer-swollen micelle has turned into a polymer particle.

The critical micelle concentration of polysorbate 80 in pure water is reported as 0.012 mM.

Thus, the Gibbs free energy of micelle formation is described by the equation:

The critical micelle concentration for deoxycholic acid is approximately 2.4-4 mM.

This double layer has the effect of stabilizing the micelle by shielding the like charges from each head group.

It is the most widely used surfactant in reverse micelle encapsulation studies.

Monomer in the micelle quickly polymerizes and the growing chain terminates.

Check out the term "micelle" in an introductory chemistry text for a nice diagram of how one looks structurally.

As the micelles form, the micelle diameter actually shrinks creating a "reel in" effect.

The antibody-bound micelle is then removed through fecal clearance.

Because the lithium hydroxide is insoluble in the organic phase, it remains within the micelle.

Micelles only form above critical micelle temperature.

Each casein micelle is roughly spherical and about a tenth of a micrometer across.

When addressing ionic surfactants, one must consider the electric double layer that forms at the surface of the micelle.

Too high a concentration of the organic may cause the micelle to disperse, as it relies on hydrophobic effects for its formation.

Additionally, models accounting for the simultaneous effect of pH, micelle and organic concentration have been suggested.

This micelle controlled technique provides for unique opportunities for solving complicated separation problems.

Inverse micelles have the head groups at the centre with the tails extending out (water-in-oil micelle).

This application is not available for block and graft copolymer because of its very low critical micelle concentration (cmc).

This concentration is called the "critical micelle concentration" or CMC.

Hydrophobic compounds such as dyes (and other 'oily' substances) migrate to the inside of the micelle.
