DIRECT DETERMINATION BY NEUTRON REFLECTION OF THE PENETRATION OF WATER INTO SURFACTANT LAYERS AT THE AIR/WATER INTERFACE

Neutron reflectivity with isotopic substitution has been used to determine directly the mean separation between the center of the distribution of a hydrophobic chain of a surfactant adsorbed at the air/water interface and the mean position of the aqueous surface. The method is described and applied...
