Adsorption layer characteristics of mixed SDS/C(n)EO(m) solutions. 3. Dynamics of adsorption and surface dilational rheology of micellar solutions.
The dynamic surface tensions of mixed SDS/C(12)EO(5) and SDS/C(14)EO(8) micellar solutions measured over a wide time range (0.1 ms to 10,000 s) at various mixing ratios are described satisfactorily by a theoretical model for the kinetics of adsorption of surfactant mixtures using the surfactant adsorption parameters obtained for premicellar mixed solutions. Additional relations used for the description of the adsorption kinetics from micellar solutions were expressions of the effective diffusion coefficient of monomers accounting for the disintegration of micelles. The modeled dynamic surface tensions agree well with the experimental data for all studied surfactant mixtures. The rheological behavior of the same mixtures--the dependencies of the viscoelasticity modulus and phase angle--were studied by using the bubble profile method at harmonic bubble surface area oscillations. The theoretical approach employed for data analysis was the same as for the dynamic surface tension behavior. Again, satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and theoretical calculations of the dilational rheological parameters was found.
