Abstract: | A simplified association model for micellisation is presented. In this model two features are incorporated; (a) There is an optimum for the change of the standard free energy per monomer upon micellisation at a certain association number. (b) At higher association numbers this free energy change becomes constant. The resulting equations for the dependence of the average micellar weight on the concentration are used to explain the experimetitally observed effects of a salting-out agent (NaCl) and of the alkyl chain length of dihexanoyl-, diheptanoyl- and dioctanoyl-lecithin. |
