Abstract

Tensiometry, spectrophotometry, the radioactive-tracer technique, and contact angle measurements are employed to study the adsorption of mixtures of a nonionic surfactant Brij 35 and a cationic surfactant dodecylpyridinium bromide (DDPB) at interfaces between their solutions and air or Teflon. It is established that adsorption layers at both of the interfaces are enriched with Brij 35. Brij 35 adsorption on Teflon is nearly independent of the presence of DDPB. On the contrary, DDPB adsorption is enhanced in the presence of Brij 35. Negative deviations from the ideal behavior are revealed for mixtures with small fractions of Brij 35 with respect to a decrease in the interfacial tension in air-solution and Teflon-solution systems.
