Molecular Simulation of Self-Assembly of Surfactants and Lipids

Abstract

Amphiphiles such as lipids and sur factants show a variety of self-assembled structures in aqueous solution. Understanding of the various self-assembled structures and their stability, which varies depending on the amphiphile concentration and temperature, is of key impor tance in scientific and industrial applications. In this review, we illustrate our recent study to approach the subject by using coarse-grained molecular simulations.
