ABSTRACT

On a solid surface in aqueous solution, the surfactant aggregates are in a different situation from that in an aqueous solution. The surfactant molecules forming the aggregations are interacted not only with the surrounded solution molecules but also with the solid surface's atoms. Thus, the shapes of the aggregates at the solid-solution interface are often greatly influenced by the properties of the solid surfaces. The properties of the solid surface adsorbed by the surfactant are very important for the usage of application.
