Application of the Gibbs equation to the adsorption of nonionic surfactants and polymers at the air-water interface: comparison with surface excesses determined directly using neutron reflectivity.

Four recent papers by Menger et al. have questioned methods of analysis of surface tension (ST) data that use the Gibbs equation to obtain the surface excess (Γ) of a surfactant at the air-water interface. There have been two responses which challenge the assertions of Menger et al. and a response f...
