Abstract
Our Larson-type microemulsion model for surfactant chains in oil–water solvents leads to long relaxation times as well as, for essential modifications, to a stable peak in the chain-cluster size distribution. Transfer energies for surfactant chains moving to the oil–water interface, and characteristic micelle concentrations (CMC) as a function of chain length are compared with experiment.Keywords
