Colloid science

a ratio of surfactant tail volume to head area and tail length that predicts whether amphiphiles form spherical micelles, cylinders or bilayers.

In colloid science, critical packing parameter refers to a ratio of surfactant tail volume to head area and tail length that predicts whether amphiphiles form spherical micelles, cylinders or bilayers. This meaning comes from Israelachvili (1976) in Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions 2.[1]
