Mixed Surfactants' Synergistic Adsorption and Molecular arrangement at the Air/Water Interface

Tom Brown

The behaviour and interaction of two or more surfactant molecules when they are present together at the air/ water interface is referred to as synergistic adsorption and molecular organisation of mixed surfactants. Surfactants are amphiphilic substances with a chemical composition that includes both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components. When surfactants are introduced into an aqueous solution, they tend to accumulate at the air/water interface due to the difference in interfacial tensions between the air and water phases.
