Self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules:A review on the recent computer simulation results

We provided a short review on the recent progresses in computer simulations of adsorption and self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules.Owing to the extensive applications of amphiphilic molecules,it is very important to understand thoroughly the effects of the detailed chemistry,solid surfaces and the degree of confinement on the aggregate morphologies and kinetics of self-assembly for amphiphilic systems.In this review we paid special attention on(i) morphologies of adsorbed surfactants on solid surfaces,(ii) self-assembly in confined systems,and(iii) kinetic processes involving amphiphilic molecules.
