Abstract
Experiments are reported with foam films from two different polyoxyethylenic nonionic surfactants of relatively short and long polyoxyethylene chains. The direct measurement of the film disjoining pressure was combined with measurements of the film thickness dependence on the electrolyte concentration. The results obtained are discussed in connection with: (i) the type of black films observed, (ii) the influence of the POE chain length on the film properties, (iii) the agreement between the disjoining pressure isotherms obtained and the theoretical ones, (iv) the relationship between the charge and potential of the interacting diffuse double layers.
