Cross-Linked Micelles
Micelles experience a dramatic increase in size when mixed with a few molecules per micelle of an oppositely charged gemini surfactant. This size increase was observed via spin-spin relaxation times, dynamic light scattering, and light microscopy. Controlling micelle size with cross-linking agents could have useful practical applications.
