摘要
We discuss recent attempts to model amphiphilic self-assembly phenomena by using lattice models. These are an attempt to represent mesoscopic length-scale structure and long time-scale dynamics of such complex fluids. We extract an effective Landau theory from the lattice model and under renormalization it is found to represent the microemulsion region of the lattice model quite well. The coefficient of the gradient-squared term in the Landau theory is negative and the implications of this for structure, interfacial properties and dynamics are discussed.
