Molecular-level understanding of concentration-dependent changes in the surface structure of different amphiphilic isomers at the water–vapor interface was gained by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Tripoli from two Ukrainian deposits was studied in its natural and modified forms. The investigation of natural and modified tripoli involves the identification of their phase compositions through X-ray diffraction and the analysis of their water vapor adsorption-desorption isotherms. The obtained results are evidence of changes in the structural-adsorption parameters of tripoli as a result of modification. Their treatment in boiling water or acid causes apparent alterations of contents of the main phases and sizes of their crystallites, whereas their calcination causes not only the dehydroxylation of surfaces and the agglomeration of phases, but even phase transformation in the case of carbonate tripoli. After analyzing water vapor adsorption-desorption isotherms of natural and modified tripolis, some correlations between their adsorption parameters, phase compositions, main phase contents and crystallite sizes have been found.

The response of the anisotropic stress at the liquid water vapor interface to a finite electric suggests that the surface potential of water can be seen as an electro-capillary effect coupled to the Maxwell stress tensor.

Isotherms for the adsorption of argon on amorphous products formed by the vacuum dehydration of several hydrated salts have been determined. These have shown that the adsorption is physical and that dehydration results in the formation of products of large capillary volume. The probable distribution of capillary diameters has been estimated and correlated with the effect of water vapor at low pressures in catalyzing the crystallization of the amorphous intermediates. Consideration of these findings, in the light of data for the heats of transition from the amorphous to the crystalline state, suggests that the X-ray amorphous character is not entirely due to the capillary structure but that other changes occur. The possible nature of these is discussed.

The assembly in solution of the cationic polymer poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and two different anionic surfactants, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and sodium N-lauroyl-N-methyltaurate (SLMT), has been studied. Additionally, the adsorption of the formed complexes at the water–vapor interface have been measured to try to shed light on the complex physico-chemical behavior of these systems under conditions close to that used in commercial products. The results show that, independently of the type of surfactant, polyelectrolyte-surfactant interactions lead to the formation of kinetically trapped aggregates in solution. Such aggregates drive the solution to phase separation, even though the complexes should remain undercharged along the whole range of explored compositions. Despite the similarities in the bulk behavior, the equilibration of the interfacial layers formed upon adsorption of kinetically trapped aggregates at the water–vapor interface follows different mechanisms. This was pointed out by surface tension and interfacial dilational rheology measurements, which showed different equilibration mechanisms of the interfacial layer depending on the nature of the surfactant: (i) formation layers with intact aggregates in the PDADMAC-SLMT system, and (ii) dissociation and spreading of kinetically trapped aggregates after their incorporation at the fluid interface for the PDADMAC-SLES one. This evidences the critical impact of the chemical nature of the surfactant in the interfacial properties of these systems. It is expected that this work may contribute to the understanding of the complex interactions involved in this type of system to exploit its behavior for technological purposes.
