Adsorption kinetics and complementary methods for time-resolved interfacial measurements.
Explore topicsTime-dependent liquid interfaces
In multicomponent liquids containing surface-active species, adsorption requires finite time. Molecules are transported toward the interface, enter the interfacial region and may reorganize after adsorption. Consequently, surface excess and surface or interfacial tension become functions of time.
