Please RSVP: Patty.Paletto@mnyca.org
Abstract
This 45-minute presentation on surfactants initially reviews the various types and chemical structures of commercially available surfactants. The presentation progresses to a better understanding of various surface activities including surface area, surface tension, surface pressure, wetting, surface transport and micelle formation. Then, we explore the world of foam with respect to how surface-active agents stabilize and de-stabilize foam bubbles at the surface or as entrained air. Finally, a review of measuring surface tension under both static and dynamic conditions.
