Structures and Phase Transitions in Langmuir Monolayers

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Partially Ordered Systems ((PARTIAL.ORDERED))

Abstract

Throughout the previous chapters, attention has been focused on the wide variety of structures and phase behaviors characterizing the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in aqueous solution (Chapters 1 to 6) and in oil/water mixtures (Chapters 6 to 11). In all cases the organization of amphiphilic (surfactant) molecules has involved one or more three-dimensional aggregates, i.e., globular or cylindrical micelles, vesicles or undulating bilayers, and droplets or bicontinuous phases of microemulsions. As a consequence, elastic (curvature) free energy has played a crucial role in determining the relative stabilities of competing geometries, and the associated phase transitions have been naturally compared and contrasted with those familiar from the usual fluids, liquid crystals, and solids in bulk.

  96. The exact summation of the inter-stripe electrostatic interactions is performed in Ref. 94 and is shown also in Ref. 80. In Ref. 78, the identical inter-stripe contribution is expressed as an infinite sum. Taking only the first few terms in the infinite sum gives qualitatively similar results.
