Computer simulations and in particular mesoscopic simulation techniques such as the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) technique, enable researchers to study the complexities …
A model for the limiting surface tension of surfactant solutions (surface tension at and above the critical micelle concentration, cmc) was developed. This model takes advantage of the …

Ostwald ripening is a diffusional mass transfer process that occurs in polydisperse emulsions, often with the result of threatening the emulsion stability. In this work, we design …
Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) provides a powerful coarse-grained simulation technique for the study of a wide range of soft matter systems. Here, we investigate the …

The outcome of a coarse-grained simulation within the dissipative particle dynamics framework strongly depends on the choice of the repulsive parameter between different …
The self-assembly of linear surfactants into reverse micelles (RMs) in nonpolar solvents, and their efficiency in reducing the interfacial tension is studied using dissipative particle …
