Surfactant form micelles, which have significant effects on cleaning and emulsification/dispersion. This makes determining the physical property values of the surfactant micelles particularly important.

We measured the molecular weight of micelles of Tween 20, a nonionic surfactant, by static light scattering and determined the aggregation number.
