Understanding Interfacial Phenomena in Surfactant Solutions
Micelle formation is a key process in surfactant solutions, where the critical micelle concentration (CMC) is reached leading to the formation of micelles. The CMC decreases with longer hydrophobic chains and is influenced by the addition of electrolytes. Adsorption at solid interfaces and wetting p

Understanding Interfacial Phenomena and Micelle Formation
Interfacial phenomena play a crucial role in the formation of micelles in surfactant solutions, leading to a decrease in surface tension. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) marks the point where micelles first form in the solution. Factors like chain length and electrolytes impact CMC and mice
