On the predictions and limitations of the Becker-Döring model for reaction kinetics in micellar surfactant solutions.

We investigate the breakdown of a system of micellar aggregates in a surfactant solution following an order-one dilution. We derive a mathematical model based on the Becker-Döring system of equations, using realistic expressions for the reaction constants fit to results from Molecular Dynamics simul...
