The adsorption behaviour of proteins and systems mixed with surfactants of different nature
is described. In the absence of surfactants the proteins mainly adsorb in a diffusion …

Surfactant mass transport towards an interface plays a critical role during formation of
emulsions, foams and in industrial processes where two immiscible phases coexist. The …

The mechanical properties of liquid–fluid systems, like the dynamic interfacial tension and
interfacial rheology are closely related to the kinetic processes involved and to the …

This monograph provides a comprehensive introduction into the fast developing research
field of dynamic processes at liquid/gas and liquid/liquid interfaces to postgraduate students …

The adsorption at liquid–liquid interfaces is a phenomenon with a remarkable impact on
many scientific and technological fields concerning multiphasic systems. Though in principle …

A diffusion model is proposed to describe the adsorption kinetics of proteins at a liquid
interface. The model is based on the simultaneous solution of the Ward− Tordai equation …

Surfactants are molecules with dual characteristics that give rise to adsorption at interfaces
and aggregation in solvents; as such, surfactants have found a multitude of applications in …

The increasing incidence of flow assurance problems caused by asphaltene deposition
during oil production has motivated the development of numerous theoretical models and …

The partition coefficients between water and hexane of some n-alkyldimethylphosphine
oxides (C n DMPO) and octylphenyl poly (ethylene glycol) ethers (Triton X-100 and Triton X …

Surfactants play a variety of critical roles in tribology. In addition to controlling friction and
wear, they also allow for control of a wide range of properties of lubricants, such as …
