Abstract We study coarse-grained continuum models for Langmuir monolayers by self-consistent field theory and by Monte Carlo simulations. Amphiphilic molecules are represented by stiff chains of monomers with one end grafted to a planar surface. In particular, we discuss the origin of successive fluid–fluid transitions, the possible origin of tilt order and the factors which determine the direction of tilt.
