micellaképzés
Micellaképzés, or micelle formation, is a crucial phenomenon in chemistry and biology. It refers to the spontaneous aggregation of amphiphilic molecules in a polar solvent, such as water. Amphiphilic molecules possess both a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail.
In an aqueous environment, these molecules arrange themselves to minimize contact between their hydrophobic tails and
This self-assembly process is driven by the hydrophobic effect, a thermodynamic principle. Micelle formation is fundamental
In chemistry, micelle formation is exploited in various applications. Detergents are a common example; their amphiphilic
