During the last few years the kinetics of micelle associa-tion and dissociation in surfactant solutions have been studied experimentally with various techniques. 1-17 The degree of association is typically ofthe order of 100, which requires either that drastically simplified assumptions be made in treating the kinetics, 1· 12'18· 19 or, that a perspi-cuous method be found for its handling. The following treatment is a move in the latter direction. First we shall put the kinetic equation into a form which suggests an analogy with heat conduction (diffu-sion, etc.) and identifies theproper rate-limiting quan-tities. A treatment of the relaxation process at very small deviations from equilibrium will be given and the result compared with existing experimental results. The treatment will then be extended to larger deviations from equi-librium and a plausible explanation given of the apparent linearity still exhibited by the process. Finally, the pro-cess of rearrangement among the abundant micelles will be treated by approximating the kinetic equations by a partial differential equation. This treatment is limited to a somewhat idealized case, but an extension to more real-istic ones is indicated.
