Abstract
We present detailed results from numerical simulations of a simple mean-field dynamical model for the kinetics of phase ordering in binary mixtures with surfactants but no hydrodynamic interactions. In particular, we demonstrate that the scaled structure factor in the presence of surfactants is the same as that in the pure case, except in the extreme tail region, where the structure factor for the case with surfactants shows a non-Porod decay for all times.Keywords
