Systems involving surfactants
Friederike Schmid
Computer simulations of amphiphilic systems are reviewed. Research areas cover a wide range of length and time scales, and a whole hierarchy of models and methods has been develope…
Short grafted chains: Monte Carlo simulations of a model for monolayers of amphiphiles
Christoph Stadler, Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
We present Monte Carlo simulations of a coarse-grained model for Langmuir monolayers of amphiphile molecules on a polar substrate. The molecules are modelled as chains of Lennard-J…
Interfacial profiles between coexisting phases in thin films: Cahn Hilliard treatment versus capillary waves
K. Binder, M. Mueller, F. Schmid +1
We consider an interface between two demixed A and B phases, confined in a thin film between two antisymmetric walls, one of which prefers A and the other B. Above the wetting tran…
Intrinsic profiles and capillary waves at homopolymer interfaces: a Monte Carlo study
A. Werner, F. Schmid, M. Mueller +1
A popular concept which describes the structure of polymer interfaces by ``intrinsic profiles'' centered around a two dimensional surface, the ``local interface position'', is test…
Effect of long range forces on the interfacial profiles in thin binary polymer films
Andreas Werner, Marcus Mueller, Friederike Schmid +1
We study the effect of surface fields on the interfacial properties of a binary polymer melt confined between two parallel walls. Each wall attracts a different component of the bl…
Self-consistent field theories for complex fluids
F. Schmid
Recent developments in off-lattice self-consistent field theories for inhomogeneous complex fluids are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of intermolecular int…
