Their constituents tend to hang out at the air-water interface until they reach their namesake critical concentration.
The mesoporous material MCM-41 is created using a template of rod-like ones of these structures. They are treated as a "microphase" in Tanford's phase-separation model. PS-P4VP in toluene forms an inverse, "hairy" form of these structures. The number of carbon atoms in the constituents of these structure is related by the Sauff-Klevens equation to a parameter key to their formation. CTAB forms these structures in one form of DNA extraction, and they are formed around denatured proteins by (*) SDS. Their constituents tend to hang out at the air-water interface until they reach their namesake critical concentration. They can only form above the Krafft temperature, and their substituents are typically amphiphilic, like detergents, or phospholipids. For 10 points, name these roughly spherical particles that form in solutions of surfactant molecules.
