An unusual synergistic adsorption of MIBC and CTAB mixtures at the air–water interface

Flotation collectors and frothers are known to synergistically adsorb at the air–water interface and reduce surface tension. Here we report an unusual synergistic adsorption of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC), which unexpectedly increase surface tension. T...
