Monte Carlo simulation of microstructural transitions in surfactant systems

摘要: In a lattice model of mixtures idealized surfactant, oil, and water molecules, the microseparation hydrophobic components (oil surfactant tails) from hydrophilic ones (water heads) is simulated by Monte Carlo technique. water, symmetric surfactants, i.e., with heads as long tails, achieve lamellar or hexagonal‐cylindrical order temperature reduced; lamellae cylinders form at concentrations that are similar to which block copolymers mixed homopolymers have been found these structures. The containing tails can many holes; reduced holes attain hexagonal within each layer. At low in surfactants spherical micelles; size distribution computed, well critical micelle concentration. When tail larger than head, micelles cigar shaped cylindrical. Cylindrical ...
