The characteristic concentration of surface active agents in solution (in practice, a narrow range of concentration) above which the appearance and development of micelles brings about sudden variation in the relation between the concentration and certain physico-chemical properties of the solution. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 1, record 1, English, - critical%20micellization%20concentration
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The critical micellization concentration is determined by the point of intersection of two extrapolated curves which represent such relations above and below the critical concentration. 1, record 1, English, - critical%20micellization%20concentration
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The value of the critical micellization concentration can depend, to a certain extent, on the property under consideration and on the method chosen to measure this property. 1, record 1, English, - critical%20micellization%20concentration
