Micellar Aggregates of Gemini Surfactants: Monte Carlo Simulation of a Microscopic Model
We propose a "microscopic" model of gemini surfactants in aqueous solution.
Carrying out extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we study the variation of the
critical micellar concentration (CMC) of these model gemini surfactants with
the variation of the (a) length of the spacer connecting the two hydrophilic
heads, (b) length of the hydrophobic tail and (c) the bending rigidity of the
hydrocarbon chains forming the spacer and the tail; some of the trends of
variation are counter-intuitive but are in excellent agreement with the
available experimental results. Our simulations also elucidate the dependence
of the shapes of the micellar aggregates and the magnitude of the CMC on the
geometrical shape and size of the surfactant molecules and the electrical
charge on the hydrophilic heads
