“…Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful method to elucidate molecular interactions and advance our understanding on the aggregation behaviors at molecular level. The method has been used to study the binding patterns of micelles (Sammalkorpi et al, 2007;Wei et al, 2016), the e ects of additive to non-ionic micelles (Piotrovskaya et al, 2006;Vierros and Sammalkorpi, 2018), micelle shape transition (Velinova et al, 2011) , as well as surface/interfacial properties (Hakim et al, 2016) . MD simulation has been also used to describe the interaction of Tween-80, multiple acid species in soybean oil and water in the absence or presence of curcumin (Moghaddasi et al, 2018) , but the work is lacking of systematic approach that start from the fundamental chemical species and incrementally increase the system complexity.…”
