  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007296",
  "term": "Micelle charge",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The net electrical charge carried by a micelle, which is an aggregate of surfactant molecules in solution. This charge arises from the ionized head groups of the surfactant molecules and the adsorption of counter-ions from the surrounding solution. It influences the stability and interactions of micelles.",
