ad-micelle

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14319
Surfactant bilayer formed on a charged adsorbing surface.
Notes:
  1. Ad-micelles are usually formed on inorganic particles.
  2. In the case of particles with charged surfaces the surfactant molecules are oriented with their charged head-groups toward the particle surfaces. In the case of further addition of surfactant, a surface bilayer may form, which is termed an ad-micelle (adsorbed micelle).
