Consistency of the model. (A) The casein concentration dependence of the volume fractions obtained from the best fits of the model to the SAXS data. Those volume fractions characterize the volume occupied by the micelles in the dispersions (ϕ₀, squares), the hard regions in the micelle (ϕ₁, triangles), and the CaP nanoclusters in the hard regions (ϕ₂, circles). The lines guide the eye. (B) The casein concentration dependence of the product (ϕ₀ϕ₁ϕ₂) (open squares). The data agree well with the volume fraction occupied by the CaP nanoclusters in the dispersions, (ϕ₀ϕ₁ϕ₂) ≈ 0.01Cv^∗ (solid line).
