Ionization of Surfactants at the Air/Water Interface
Some surfactants, or surface-active agents, undergo ionization in water. The degree of ionization can affect molecular hydrophilicity and therefore the overall adsorption of surfactants at liquid surfaces. For weak ionic surfactants, such as carboxylic acids and alkylphenols, partial ionization occu...
