Modeling micelle formation and interfacial properties with iSAFT classical density functional theory

Abstract: Surfactants reduce the interfacial tension between phases, making them an important additive in a number of industrial and commercial applications from enhanced oil recovery to personal care products (e.g., shampoo and detergents). To help obtain a better understanding of the dependence of surfactantproperties on molecular structure, a classical density functional theory, also known as interfacial statistical associating fluid theory, has been applied to study the effects of surfactant architecture on micelle … Show more

“…With appropriate adaptation, iSAFT has been successfully applied to investigate block copolymers in confinement, 32 tethered polymers, [46][47][48][49] polymer-colloid mixtures, 50 and micelle formation. 51 One can also turn to the paper by Emborsky et al 37 for a good review.…”

“…However, he has not performed these calculations himself. Chapman et al , follow a completely different way to use the SAFT framework for the calculation of micellar properties. They , utilized only iSAFT, which is a density functional approach, and assumed that only spherical micelles form.…”

“…Chapman et al , follow a completely different way to use the SAFT framework for the calculation of micellar properties. They , utilized only iSAFT, which is a density functional approach, and assumed that only spherical micelles form. In this case, the CMC can be determined using the condition that the grand thermodynamic potential of the surfactant solution is the same with or without a formed micelle.…”

“…The previous success of iSAFT has demonstrated its accuracy and thermodynamic consistency in modeling macromolecular systems against molecular simulation. For block copolymers, iSAFT have been applied to model lipid bilayers, block copolymer self-assembly under confinement, tethered block copolymers, dendrimer molecules in different solvents, associating block copolymers, block copolymer and nanoparticle, formation of block copolymer micelles, and hybrid density-gradient DFT …”
