Abstract

The author describes mechanism of arrival of a surfactant at the solution and air interface based on the Brownian diffusion of molecules in a medium with increasing viscosity nearer to the interface. The article explains features of the adsorption layer formation times with molecules of ionizable and non-ionizable wetters, and estimates the adsorption layer formation time versus temperature of the solution and addition of electrolyte.
