Understanding the decrease in adsorption of surfactants at a solid surface above the critical micelle concentration

DOI

Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire surface shows a maximum at the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and then decrease for several anionic surfactants. The present proposal is to make a test of a theory that can explain this behaviour in terms of the interaction of admicelles with micelles in solution.
