We report molecular simulations suggesting that the kinetics of surfactant micelle formation can be sped up significantly by a replication mechanism, in which growing micelles become unstable and split into two similar sized micelles. We argue that for certain surfactants types around the critical micelle concentration, such a mechanism becomes more dominant than the commonly accepted nucleation pathway.
