Identity, energy and environment of interfacial water molecules in a micellar solution
Article Abstract:
The structure and energetics of interfacial water molecules in an aqueous micelle of cesium perfluorooctanoate were investigated, using large-scale atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations show that the water molecules at the interface fall into two broad classes, namely, bound and free, present in a ratio of 9:1.

Molecular theory of the sphere-to-rod transition and the second CMC in aqueous micellar solutions
Article Abstract:
A molecular-level theory for the structure and growth of linear micelles, structure of intermediate-size micelles are presented and analyzed. The "second CMC" behavior is demonstrated by numerical calculations of micellar size, distribution and average aggregation numbers as a function of the total concentration.
