Micellar refers to micelles, which are tiny aggregates of molecules (often surfactants) that form when a substance is in a solution and the molecules arrange themselves with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic exterior. In chemistry and biophysics, micellar systems are studied for solubilization and transport properties. The term spans fields like colloid science and pharmacology, describing structures that influence solubility and reaction dynamics.
