A stylized schematic shows a single amphiphilic molecule with a polar hydrophilic head group (gray circle) and two nonpolar hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails (tan). In colloid and interface science and biochemistry, this small-molecule surfactant lowers surface tension and, above the critical micelle concentration (CMC), self-assembles into supramolecular aggregates such as micelles or contributes to lipid bilayer formation. Hierarchically, it is a monomeric molecule within aqueous systems that organize into larger structures at fluid interfaces or in solution.
