tion. cmc , critical micelle concentration
In the simplified model of a spherical micelle, the core region made of alkyl
chains is considered to be hydrophobic and fluid and can solubilize an apolar sub-
strate (Bunton et al. 1991; Ta¸cio ˘lu 1996). As shown in Fig. 3, the outer region of
the micelle consists of polar head groups known as a Stern layer where a part of the
counterions are tightly bound in the case of ionic surfactants and the polarity is
