Micellar aggregation number

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007284",
  "term": "Micellar aggregation number",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The average number of surfactant or block copolymer molecules that associate to form a single micelle in a solution. This number is a characteristic property of a given surfactant or polymer system under specific conditions of concentration, temperature, and solvent. It can be determined by techniques such as light scattering or fluorescence spectroscopy.",
