Abstract
A lattice model is used to simulate the dependence of the condensation temperature of ternary mixtures (water-oil-surfactants) on varying ta il length. Nonionic single-tailed amphiphiles are assumed. We have obt ained the result that the longer the tail length, the higher is the co ndensation temperature. We also discuss the influence of the head-head interaction on that temperature.
