摘要: By performing off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations in a two-dimensional space, we investigate the aggregation behavior of model Bouquet-shaped amphiphilic cyclodextrins. These molecules are able to self-assemble into variety supramolecular structures, such as micelles, vesicles, and long double-layered filaments. At high packing fractions, inverted micellar phases lamellar liquid crystals have also been observed. Despite number approximations restrictions imposed our model, where solution degrees freedom kept implicit only main physicochemical details considered, reproduce self-assembling cyclodextrins its essential most characteristic picture. The calculations cluster size distribution, density profiles, radial distribution functions permit characterization aggregates formed self-assembly process.
