ABSTRACT
I. INTRODUCTION The performance of surfactant molecules at the interfaces depends strongly not only on the chemical structure of them and the nature of the interfaces but also on the environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, pH, the added materials, and so on. In the previous version of this series [1], the structure performance of adsorption properties has been summarized on the emphasis of the experimental results of the surface and interfacial tensions and their analysis according to the fundamental thermodynamic equations, effects of chemical structures of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, effects of circumstances, and the structure of adsorbed films from the scattering techniques. Basically the review itself is still quite useful to understand various interfacial and colloid chemistries.
