Mesoscale simulations of surfactant dissolution and mesophase formation
arXiv:cond-mat/0204483 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.148302
Abstract
The evolution of the contact zone between pure surfactant and solvent has been studied by mesoscale simulation. It is found that mesophase formation becomes diffusion controlled and follows the equilibrium phase diagram adiabatically almost as soon as individual mesophases can be identified, corresponding to times in real systems of order 10 microseconds.
