Abstract

A comparison of experimental data with self-consistent field lattice calculations and molecular dynamics simulations has shown that the latter two approaches are able to predict in a qualitative sense the relation between the structure of a surfactant and its interfacial tension at an oil/water interface. Micelles can also be observed in the simulations and in the self-consistent field calculations. Advantages and disadvantages of the simulations and the self-consistent field calculations are discussed and it is concluded that current theoretical models provide reasonable descriptions of complex colloidal systems.
