Sa. Zholob et al., DYNAMIC INTERFACIAL-TENSION AT THE BOUNDARY OF AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS OF OCTYLPHENYL ETHERS OF POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOLS) AND HYDROCARBON - 1 - THEORY, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 59(6), 1997, pp. 694-701
Theoretical models describing the diffusion-controlled kinetics of ads
orption from surfactant solutions at the surface of a growing drop wer
e considered. The approximated equation for interfacial tension was de
rived for the dynamic variation in the droplet volume. The theory was
extended to the case of surfactant molecules capable of reorienting in
the surface layer. Various correction procedures accounting for hydro
dynamic effects were analyzed.
