Soc. 118 (1996) 10719-10724 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter; Cellular Automata and Lattice Gases | cond-mat.soft comp-gas nlin.CG | | Affiliation: | Schlumberger Cambridge Research), Andrew N. Emerton (Oxford), Bruce M. Boghosian (Boston University | | Abstract: | We simulate self-reproducing micellar systems using a recently introduced lattice-gas automaton. This dynamical model correctly describes the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of mixtures of oil, water and surfactants. The simulations reported here mimic the experiments of Luisi et al. in which caprylate micelles are formed by alkaline hydrolysis of immiscible ethyl caprylate ester. As in the laboratory experiments, we find an extended induction period during which the concentration of micelles remains small; thereafter the ester is consumed very rapidly with concomitant production of micelles. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9709183 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
