“…It has been shown by Langevin, molecular dynamics, lattice gas, and lattice Boltzmann simulations that the temporal growth law for the size of oil and water domains in a system without amphiphiles follows a power law t α [1,2] and crosses over to a logarithmic growth law (ln t) θ , where α, θ are fitting parameters and t is the time [3,4,5]. A further increase of the surfactant concentration can lead to growth which is well described by a stretched exponential form A − B exp(−Ct D ), where capital letters denote fitting parameters [4,5]. By adjusting temperature, fluid composition or pressure, amphiphiles can self-assemble and force the fluid mixture into a number of equilibrium structures or mesophases.…”
