Reverse Micelles are water droplets that are obtained from the action of sulphates when dispersed in water. ... Surfactant atoms compose with the polar part to the internal side ready to solubilize water and the apolar part in contact with the natural dissolvable.

What is a reverse micelle and when is it formed?

Reverse micelles are thermodynamically stable assemblies of surfactant molecules organized around a core of water or dissolved solute that spontaneously form optically transparent solutions in low polarity liquids.

Is micelle formation reversible?

Micelle formation is reversible and highly dependent on weak intermolecular interactions within the micelles.
