Abstract

The adsorption kinetics of four Tritons (TX45, TX100, TX 165 anti TX405) was studied by using the complementary drop and bubble profile and maximum bubble pressure tensiometry methods. While TX45 and TX100 can be quantitatively described by a diffusion controlled adsorption mechanism, based on the reorientation model for describing the equilibrium state of adsorption, the results for TX165 and TX405 deviate significantly from this adsorption mechanism. With additional assumptions, such as a finite rate constant for the transition of adsorbed molecules between states of different molar area, anti effects of the composition of the Triton samples by many compounds of different ethylene oxide chains, a much better description of the experimental data is possible.
