Abstract

Surfactant adsorption onto colloidal particles is of eminent importance to technological processes in which colloidal stability or detergency plays a role. Surfactant adsorption onto hydrophilic surfaces can be regarded as a surface aggregation process, reminiscent of micelle formation in solution.
