FIG. 15 Model of a spherical SDS micelle devised by Israelachvili (J.Israelachvili, Intermolecular and Surface Forces, 2nd Ed.; Academic Press: London, 1991.) displaying a fairly well-defined hydrocarbon-water interface. The hydrocarbon chains packed inside the core to normal density are subject to geometrical constraints, which are taken into account in the (mean field) calculations of their configurational state due to Gruen and de Lacey [55] and others. The sodium counterions have been omitted. Besides, in the standard Poisson-Boltzmann treatment of the curved electrostatic double layer, the
