Abstract
Equilibrium size and shape distributions of self-assembledmicelles are investigated using lattice Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The micellar size distributions are shown to include a Gaussian peak of spherical micelles, in combination with an exponential tail of cylindrical micelles.Keywords
