title: Dynamic surface tension of micellar solutions in the millisecond and submillisecond time range.
abstract: The analysis of the available bubble life times and dead times for the bubble pressure tensiometer BPA-1S shows that dynamic surface tensions can be measured also for surfactant solutions at concentrations many times higher than the corresponding CMC. For the three nonionic surfactants Triton X-100, Triton X-45, and C14EO8 experiments are performed for solutions with a concentration of up to 200 times the CMC (C14EO8). Comparison of the experimental data with micelle kinetics models yields rate constants for the fast micelle dissolution process, which are in a good agreement with values obtained by other experimental methodologies.
