Abstract
Calculations of the relative stability of different micelle forms in s urfactant multicomponent (more than two) systems were performed on the basis of the surfactant parameter model. The results show that some p articular micelle forms, that are of little relative stability in a bi nary water-surfactant system, are strongly stabilized by the presence of cosurfactants whose molecules fit best in micelle zones of distinct curvatures.
