Finite-size effects and optimal system sizes in simulations of surfactant micelle self-assembly [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The spontaneous formation of micelles in aqueous solutions is governed by the amphipathic nature of surfactants and is practically interesting due to the regular use of micelles as membrane mimics, for the characterization of protein structure, and for drug design and delivery.

Ordered Phases of Diblock Copolymer Micelles in Selective Solvent [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
We propose a mean-field model to explore the equilibrium coupling between micelle aggregation and lattice choice in neutral copolymer and selective solvent mixtures. We find both thermotropic and lyotropic transitions from face-centered cubic to body-centered cubic ordered phases of spherical micelles, in agreement with experimental observations of ...

Micellization of Diblock Copolymer Modified by Cononsolvency Effect [PDF]

arXiv
Spherical micelle modified by cononsolvency effect is investigated by using self-consistent field theory (SCFT) and random phase approximation, which is formed by diblock copolymers consisted of one permanent hydrophobic block and one hydrophilic block.

Micelle Formation of Diblock Copolymers Driven by Cononsolvency Effect [PDF]

arXiv
This study utilizes self-consistent field theory to characterize various features of cononsolvency-driven spherical micelles formed by double hydrophilic block copolymers (DHBCs). Micelles are observed only at an intermediate cosolvent fraction, forming abruptly at a specific solvent/cosolvent mixing ratio and gradually disappearing with further ...

A mesoscopic model for the rheology of dilute and semidilute solutions of wormlike micelles [PDF]

arXiv
The concept of a `persistent worm' is introduced, representing the smallest possible length of a wormlike micelle, and modelled by a bead-spring chain with sticky beads at the ends. Persistent worms are allowed to combine with each other at their sticky ends to form wormlike micelles with a distribution of lengths, and the semiflexibility of a wormlike
