The Prediction of Microemulsion Properties: Molecular Theory and the Lattice Fluid Self-Consistent Field Theory

Abstract Structural features of microemulsions such as the droplet radius, thickness of the surfactant layer at the interface, number and distribution of molecules within a droplet are calculated using LSCF field theory. The theory was also used to calculate the composition ratio, interfacial tension (γ) and bending moment (c) of spherical interfaces between oil and water. Presented results show that LFSCF approach can be used to predict microemulsion properties.
