On the Adsorption Kinetics of Surface-Chemically Pure n-Dodecanoic Acid at the Air/Water Interface
(2004)
The dynamic surface tension data for n-dodecanoic acid in 0.005 M hydrochloric acid, for as-received as well as for surface-chemically pure solutions, show the presence of a prolonged induction period, clearly indicating that the adsorption of this nonionic surfactant is not simply diffusion-controlled. A kinetic model for the reversible formation of monolayer islands, long known in the field of electrochemistry, is shown to also apply to the adsorption of n-dodecanoic acid at the air/water interface. The rate constant increases linearly with increasing bulk concentration, while the induction time decreases exponentially. The phenomenon of nucleation at the air/water interface is consistent with the direct experimental observation of the formation of solid-like patches as the interfacial region is drastically compressed.
