Amphiphiles
Summary
Amphiphiles are molecules that contain both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, enabling them to preferentially position at
interfaces between water and oil
or within
biological membranes
. This
dual affinity
allows them to form
unique structures
like micelles, bilayers, and vesicles, which are fundamental in a myriad of processes ranging from
industrial applications
to
biological functions
.
