Interaction of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte-ionic surfactant mixtures: adsorption of sodium poly(acrylic acid)-dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide mixtures at the air-water interface

The adsorption of the polyelectrolyte-cationic surfactant mixture of sodium poly(acrylic acid), NaPAA, and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, C 12TAB, at the air-water interface has been studied using neutron reflectivity and surface tension. The results provide direct evidence of the relative role...
