mikellikonentraatio
Mikellikonentraatio is the concentration of micelles in a solution that contains surfactant molecules. It becomes relevant once the total surfactant concentration exceeds the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the threshold at which individual surfactant molecules begin to assemble into micellar aggregates. In typical solutions, the monomer concentration remains close to the CMC, while the excess surfactant forms micelles.
A practical way to express mikellikonentraatio is approximately [Micelles] ≈ (C_total − CMC)/N_agg, where C_total is the total
Several factors influence mikellikonentraatio, including temperature, ionic strength, pH, and the presence of additives or co-surfactants.
Measurement and estimation of mikellikonentraatio employ methods such as dynamic and static light scattering, fluorescence probes,
