Abstract
A geometrical model for water-swollen nonionic micelles in decane is proposed in relation to small angle neutron scattering data. It states that the aggregation number of these lamellar particles is monitored by the hydration degree of the oxyethylene (EO) groups along the polyoxyethylene chains: when hydrated, a EO group must be surrounded by a constant given number of water molecules.
