Colloid and surface chemistry

the surfactant concentration above which molecules assemble into micelles, set by a balance of hydrophobic attraction and head-group repulsion.

In colloid and surface chemistry, critical micelle concentration refers to the surfactant concentration above which molecules assemble into micelles, set by a balance of hydrophobic attraction and head-group repulsion. This meaning comes from Tanford (1974) in The Journal of Physical Chemistry.[1]
