Аннотация:We propose a coarse-grained model for studying the effects of adding bile salt to lecithin organosols by
means of computer simulation. This model allows us to reveal the mechanisms of experimentally
observed increasing of viscosity upon increasing the bile salt concentration. We show that increasing
the bile salt to lecithin molar ratio induces the growth of elongated micelles of ellipsoidal and cylindrical
shape due to incorporation of disklike bile salt molecules. These wormlike micelles can entangle into
transient network displaying perceptible viscoelastic properties.
