چکیده

Surfactants and their mixtures can drastically change the interfacial properties and hence are used in many industrial processes such as dispersion/flocculation, flotation, emulsification, corrosion inhibition, cosmetics, drug delivery, chemical mechanical polishing, enhanced oil recovery, and nanolithography. A review of studies on adsorption of single surfactant as well as mixtures of various types (anionic-cationic, anionic-nonionic, cationic-nonionic, cationic-zwitterionic and nonionic-nonionic) is presented here along with mechanisms involved. Results obtained using techniques such as zeta potential, flotation, AFM, specular neutron reflectivity, small angle neutron scattering, fluorescence, ESR, Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, HPLC and ATR-IR are reviewed along with those from traditional techniques to elucidate the mechanisms of adsorption and particularly to understand synergistic/antagonistic interactions at solution/liquid interfaces and nanostructures of surface aggregates. In addition, adsorption of several mixed surfactant systems is considered due to their industrial relevance. Finally an attempt is made to derive structure-property relationships to provide a solid foundation for the design and use of surfactant formulations for industrial applications.

Adsorption Behavior of Surfactant Mixtures at Solid-Liquid Interface

Behavior of surfactant mixtures at solid-liquid interfaces was investigated using anionic-nonionic and catjonic-nonionic surfactants of different structures. The results show that adsorption of nonionic surfactants on alumina was enhanced significantly by the coadsorption of ionic surfactants. The adsorption beha vior of these binary surfactant mixtures was dependent upon the ratio of the two s...

Adsorption of mixtures of nonionic sugar-based surfactants with other surfactants at solid/liquid interfaces II. Adsorption of n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside with a cationic surfactant and a nonionic ethoxylated surfactant on solids

Synergy and antagonism between sugar-based surfactants, a group of environmentally benign surfactants, and cationic surfactants and nonionic ethoxylated surfactants have been investigated in this study with solids which adsorbs only one or other when presented alone. Sugar-based n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DM) does not adsorb on silica by itself. However, in mixtures with cationic dodecyltrimethyl...

Thermodynamics of adsorption of surfactants at solid-liquid interface

Adsorption of surfactants at interfaces is detenIlined by a number of forces involving electrostatic attraction, covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic bonding and solvation and desolvation of various species. The extent and type of forces involved vary depending on the adsorbate and the adsorbent and also the composition and other characteristics of the solvent and dissolved component...

A review on experimental studies of surfactant adsorption at the hydrophilic solid-water interface.

The progresses of understanding of the surfactant adsorption at the hydrophilic solid-liquid interface from extensive experimental studies are reviewed here. In this respect the kinetic and equilibrium studies involves anionic, cationic, non-ionic and mixed surfactants at the solid surface from the solution. Kinetics and equilibrium adsorption of surfactants at the solid-liquid interface depend...

Phase-separated surfactant monolayers: Exploiting immiscibility of fluorocarbons and hydrocarbons to pattern interfaces.

The mutual immiscibility of hydrogenated and fluorinated surfactants at interfaces frequently leads to phase-separation, which provides a useful and flexible method for patterning air-water and solid-air interfaces. In this article, we review recent advances in the use of hydrogenated-fluorinated surfactant mixtures to achieve interfacial patterning. For even relatively simple systems comprised...
