Restructuring of hydrophobic surfaces created by surfactant adsorption to mica surfaces.
Hydrophobic surfaces created by the adsorption of a monolayer of surfactants, such as CTAB or DODAB, to mica display long-range mutual attraction when placed in water. Initially, this attraction was considered to be due to hydrophobic interaction, but more careful measurements using AFM showed that...
