Abstract

A series of models, based on artificial neural networks, of the percolative behaviour of AOT microemulsions in the presence of crown ethers as additives have been developed. Input variables, related to the chemical structure of crown ethers and their packing with surfactant film, have been selected. As a result, a model has been chosen with a good forecast capability for percolation threshold of such microemulsions.

Kurzfassung

Eine auf neuronalen Netzwerken basierende Modellreihe, die das perkolative Verhalten von AOT-Mikroemulsionen in Gegenwart von Kronenethern als Additive beschreibt, wurde entwickelt. Die Eingangsvariablen wurden hinsichtlich der chemischen Struktur der Kronenether und ihrer Packung im Tensidfilm ausgewählt. Es wurde ein Modell bestimmt, mit dem sich die Perkolationsschwelle solcher Mikroemulsionen gut vorhersagen lässt.
