  2. Micelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micelle

    The difficulty in filling the volume of the interior of a bilayer, while accommodating the area per head group forced on the molecule by the hydration of the lipid head group, leads to the formation of the micelle. This type of micelle is known as a normal-phase micelle (or oil-in-water micelle).

  3. Organogels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogels

    Example of organogelator molecules. Gelation mechanism greatly influences the typical organogel properties. Since precursors with multiple functional groups polymerize into networks of covalent C-C bonds (on average 85 kcal/mol), networks formed by self-assembly, which relies on secondary forces (generally less than 10 kcal/mol), are less stable.

  4. Thermodynamics of micellization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics_of_micelliz...

    The shape of a micelle is directly dependent on the packing parameter of the surfactant. Surfactants with a packing parameter of N S {\displaystyle N_{\text{S}}} ≤ 1/3 appear to have a cone-like shape which will pack together to form spherical micelles when in an aqueous environment (top in figure).

  6. Micellar electrokinetic chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micellar_electrokinetic...

    Charged analytes have a more complex interaction in the capillary because they exhibit electrophoretic mobility, engage in electrostatic interactions with the micelle, and participate in hydrophobic partitioning. [5] The fraction of the sample in the aqueous phase, , is given by:

  7. Lyotropic liquid crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyotropic_liquid_crystal

    A mixture of soap and water is an everyday example of a lyotropic liquid crystal. Biological structures such as fibrous proteins showings relatively long and well-defined hydrophobic and hydrophilic ‘‘blocks’’ of aminoacids can also show lyotropic liquid crystalline behaviour. [6]

  8. Wetting solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetting_solution

    At this point, the surface tension is maximally lowered and is termed as the critical micelle concentration (CMC). [21] The lower the CMC, the more efficient the wetting solution is in reducing surface tension. Any additional wetting solution molecules will undergo self-aggregation into several special structures called micelles.

  9. Soap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap

    A handmade soap bar Two equivalent images of the chemical structure of sodium stearate, a typical ingredient found in bar soaps Emulsifying action of soap on oil. Soap is a salt of a fatty acid (sometimes other carboxylic acids) used for cleaning and lubricating products as well as other applications. [1]
