critical micelle concentration (cmc)

What is Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC)?

The Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) is the concentration of surfactants in a bulk phase, above which micelles are spontaneously formed. Below the CMC, surfactants exist primarily as individual molecules. The CMC is a crucial parameter in the study of colloidal systems and is particularly significant in the field of nanotechnology where the formation of micelles can be utilized for various applications.
