A micelle or micella is an aggregate of surfactant amphipathic lipid molecules dispersed in a liquid,forming a colloidal suspension. A typical micelle in water forms an aggregate with the hydrophilic "head" regions in contact with surrounding solvent,sequestering the hydrophobic single-tail regions in the micelle centre.
