Abstract

A binary mixture of an amphiphilic material and water exhibits a rich phase behaviour as the concentrations of the components or temperature is changed [1]. Similar behaviour is also observed for ternary mixtures of amphiphile, oil and water. Lattice models of ternary systems have been extensively studied [e.g. 2]. However these models usually represent the amphiphilic molecule as a bond or site within the lattice and hence ignore the internal structure of the amphiphile.In this paper we present results for the lattice model of a binary system in which we represent the amphiphilic molecules by extended chains. This allows the nature of the chain packing and its influence on phase behaviour to be investigated. It also allows comparison with mean field calculations of chain order parameters [e.g. 3].
