Micellization gelation point

There is an intersection between the solid broken lines for each multiplicity k. This is a special point where the sol-gel transition and the CPMC take place simultaneously. We call this special point the micellization gelation point (MGP). For instance, for A = 8 this point is located at a surfactant concentration that is nearly twice as large as the SMG concentration. 

Fig. 4. Micellular gelation mechanism. A shows micelle nuclei, highly cross-linked B, boundary where micelle growth terminates in styrene block polymers. Styryl free radicals simultaneously initiate micelle nuclei at points of high fumarate concentration. The micelles continue to expand, interacting with free styrene until the fumarate groups are depleted. The micelles eventually overlap at the boundaries that contain higher levels of terminal styrene...

Acidification of milk results in the formation of a gel. Gelation of milk is primarily due to the charge neutralization of the protein particles in milk as the isoelectric point of the milk protein particles is approached. The micelles maintain their original size until the first signs of gelation.
