The Packing of Amphiphile Chains in Micelles and Bilayers

  • Chapter

Abstract

A simple model for the packing of amphiphile chains in spherical and rod-shaped micelles and in bilayers is presented. The model assumes that each aggregate has a hydrophobic core in which neither headgroups nor water can exist.
