About
A micelle is a self-assembled, colloidal aggregate of amphiphilic surfactant molecules in a liquid medium. Its hydrophobic tails face inward to form a nonpolar core that dissolves lipophilic substances, while its hydrophilic heads face outward into the water to dissolve polar substances, enabling dual solubilisation.
Chemistry can dissolve oil in water, we like to solve tricky problems too.
