AGGREGATION OF AMPHIPHILES IN TERNARY MIXTURES

We present an improved version of an earlier Larson-type model of amph iphiles. Detailed descriptions of the algorithms are given and some si tuations where care must be taken are pointed out. We use the model to calculate the condensation transition temperature of amphiphiles in a ternary mixture. The concentration percolation threshold and percolat ion critical exponent of amphiphile clusters at the oil-water interfac e are also calculated.
