Note: Based on definition in ref. Micelle (polymers): Organized auto-assembly formed in a liquid and composed of amphiphilic macromolecules, in general amphiphilic di- or tri-block copolymers made of solvophilic and solvophobic blocks. Note 1: An amphiphilic behavior can be observed for water and an organic solvent or between two organic solvents....

Surfactants in solution are often association colloids, that is, they tend to form aggregates of colloidal dimensions, which exist in equilibrium with the molecules or ions from which they are formed. Such aggregates are termed micelles. See also inverted micelle. IUPAC MANUAL APPENDIX II (1972).

Organised blob of surfactant molecules with all the hydrophobic tails pointing inwards to create a tiny hydrophobic phase. If you try to dissolve surfactant molecules in water, you will succeed up to a point as more surfactant is added, and then any additional surfactant you add will form micelles. Under the same conditions, a particular surfactant...

One of the possible ways in which amphipathic molecules may be arranged; a spherical structure in which all the hydrophobic portions of the molecules are inwardly directed, leaving the hydrophilic portions in contact with the surrounding aqueous phase. The converse arrangement will be found if the major phase is hydrophobic.
