Abstract

A modified mass-action distribution model, the so-called shell model for micellar systems, has been recently published by the author. This model simulates the critical micelle concentration behavior of such systems. An internally self-consistent closed form solution for the relaxation kinetics of the initial process immediately following perturbation, in micellar systems following this model, has been published by the author during the year of this Symposium. This has also for the first time fit the relaxation time behavior down to infinite dilution. With the aid of this equilibrium distribution and application of the standard rate equations of chemical kinetics for the interaction of a monomer molecule with another monomer and each oligomer unit, the instantaneous rate of change of the molar and equivalent concentration of every oligomer throughout the distribution has been computed numerically with a digital computer.
