The Formation of Dodecane/DBS Micelle |
Red molecules are DBS surfactant, pink molecules are dodecane molecules while the green dots are sodium ions. Water molecules were removed for clarity. The core of the micelle is formed dodecane molecules and the viscosity is very high.

Structure of DPPC Monolayer in Gase Phase |
Oragnge atoms are hydrophobic group (tail) and blue atoms are the hydrophilic group (head) of DPPC molecule. Light blue dots are water molecules. The tail groups are folding randomly just to fill up the space.

Structure of DPPC Monolayer in Condense Phase |
Oragnge atoms are hydrophobic group (tail) and blue atoms are the hydrophilic group (head) of DPPC molecule. Light blue dots are water molecules. The tail group are packed tightly for minimum space.
