*Values from reference [29].
aCritical micelle concentrations were determined in deionized water or 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) by surface tensiometer at ambient temperature.
bPartial specific volume was determined in deionized water by density meter at 25°C.
cPartial specific molar volume was calculated using PSV and molar mass of the surfactant (i.e., PMV=PSV × MM × 0.001 L/mL).
dPhase ratio was determined from Equation 3.
