Using molecular dynamics simulations, we calculated that the dipole moment of models for asphaltene aggregate tends to zero when the number of molecules in the aggregate tends to large values. In other words, such dipole moment cancellation would be an important contributor to the dispersion of these aggregates. %G English %2 https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-03872557/document %2 https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-03872557/file/Villegaz%20et%20al.pdf %L hal-03872557 %U https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-03872557 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PAU %~ IPREM %~ INC-CNRS %~ IPREM-CAPT %~ UPPA-OA %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
