Key Points

The research aims to develop a model for predicting interfacial tension between oil and water in surfactant systems.
Developed a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model parametrized against experimental data.

Abstract

We present a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model for surfactants at oil-water interfaces, parametrised directly against experimental data. The model is applied to pure and mixed systems of ionic and...
