STRUCTURE OF ADSORBED LAYERS OF ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MONODODECYL ETHER SURFACTANTS WITH ONE, 2, AND 4 ETHYLENE-OXIDE GROUPS, AS DETERMINED BY NEUTRON REFLECTION

Deuterated isotopic species of the nonionic surfactants C12H26(OC2H4)mOH (C12Em), with m = 1, 2, and 4, have been prepared and their adsorption at the air/water interface characterized by surface tension and neutron reflection measurements. The structures of the adsorbed layers have been determined...
