Entry term(s) micela
Scope note: Partículas constituidas por agregados de moléculas estrechamente unidas por enlaces secundarios. La superficie de las micelas suele estar formada por compuestos anfipáticos que se orientan de tal manera que se reduce al mínimo la energía de interacción entre la micela y su entorno. Las EMULSIONES son líquidos que contienen gran número de micelas en suspensión.
