16. The distance between the two micelle cores should be comparable to the height of the corona due to the repulsion of the coronas. Therefore, we assume the end-to-end distance of the connecting coil R to be larger than the mean value R̄ for the same coil in isolated conditions. Thus, for good solvent we use the well-known des Cloizeaux form, see, e.g., [14, 15].
