Micelles X bubbles X molecular weight of the surfactant
I am just curious and I am not a chemist yet, so not sure if my question is stupid or not: does the size of micelles have anything to do with the sizes of the bubbles (made for a shampoo for instance)? I know the bubbles can be considered a kind of micelle per se, but I guess you can understand my question…
Another question: does the molecular weight of the surfactant have anything to do with the sizes of the bubble that are made by this surfactant?

I’m not aware of any research showing a connection between bubble size and surfactant micelle size. Bubble are a result of processing mostly so that would have a vastly greater effect than micelles.
I also have not heard of molecular weight being connected to bubble size but it’s an interesting question.
