Association probabilities between the single chain amphiphiles into a binary mixture in planar monolayers.
In this work, we have calculated the probabilities of selfassociation of single chain amphiphile molecules for 36 binary mixtures of molecules having an even number of carbon atoms (from 8 to 24 carbon atoms). The association probabilities depend on the dipole moment of head groups, the length of chains and the mole fraction of the mixture of both types of amphiphile. These calculations are useful for the quantitative and qualitative explanation of the cluster formation on the surface of the mono- or bilayers.
