OBS

La formation réversible de colloïdes d'association à partir d'agents tensioactifs dissous dans des solvants apolaires se traduit par la formation d'agrégats appelés «micelles inverses (inversées ou renversées)». [...] Dans une micelle inverse, les groupes polaires du composé tensioactif sont rassemblés à l'intérieur de l'agrégat, tandis que les groupes lipophiles sont dirigés vers l'extérieur en se mêlant aux molécules du solvant apolaire.
