Abstract
A thermodynamic theory of phase separation in self-associating micellar solutions is presented which incorporates (1) a distribution of micellar aggregates controlled by multiple chemical equilibrium, and (2) interactions between the aggregates. Low-order moments of the micellar distribution provide the link between the phenomena of phase separation and self-association. The theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with experimental findings in micellar solutions of dioctanoyl-phosphatidylcholine and water.
