The mixture ratios were used as a factor for aggregation number (Nagg) determination in binary mixtures of calix[4]arene surfactants. Platonic micelles having different Nagg were prepared by adjusting the ratio of oppositely charged compounds. We investigated the change of Nagg by using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). Interestingly, the Nagg of micelles matched Platonic numbers and showed consistency in their respective results as SAXS and AUC.
