Oil/water interfacial tensions are reported for systems containing pure alkane, aqueous sodium chloride, and a pure anionic surfactant, either Aerosol OT or p-dihexylbenzene sodium sulphonate (DHBS). Evidence is produced to support the claim that monolayer adsorption at the oil/water interface can produce ultralow tensions (~ 1 µN m−1), and that the presence at the interface of a third, surfactant-rich phase is not necessary. The aggregation of DHBS and its distribution between oil and aqueous phases of various salinities have been investigated. It has been confirmed that the behaviour of DHBS in these respects is similar to that of Aerosol OT, as might be expected from its molecular structure. The sizes of microemulsion droplets in equilibrium with planar adsorbed monolayers have been determined, and related to the tensions of the plane oil/aqueous phase interfaces using simple existing theory.

The lignin-based cationic/anionic surfactant CA-SLs have a stronger ability to lower the surface tension at the air/water interface compared with SL–PEG, but a weaker one than CTAB.

We studied the dynamics of adsorption at the air-water interface of a cationic surfactant bearing two charges, Gemini 12-2-12, at concentrations below and above the critical micelle concentration (cmc). We used maximum bubble pressure and Wilhelmy plate techniques in order to access all time scales in the adsorption process. We found that the adsorption dynamics are controlled by diffusion at the initial stage of the adsorption process (milliseconds) and it is kinetically controlled by an electrostatic barrier (minute) approaching the equilibrium surfactant surface concentration. Between these two extremes, we found several relaxation phenomena, all following exponential decays with characteristic times spanning from one to hundreds of seconds. By means of time-resolved surface potential measurements, we show that these processes involve charge redistribution within the interfacial region. The surface tension data are analyzed and interpreted in the framework of the free energy approach.
