Abstract
Oil drops placed on surfactant laden water surface exhibit a transition from surface tension driven to surface tension gradient driven spreading as a function of surfactant concentration. Interestingly, this transition occurs at the critical micellar concentration irrespective of surfactant chemistry demonstrating a connection between fluid flows and shuttling of surfactant between the bulk and the interface.
