2-D aggregation is a typical feature shown by some soluble surfactants (maily long chain alchools) and is nearly always present in insoluble (Langmuir) monolayers. For all these systems the surface rheological behaviour is an important characteristics related to their practical utilisation (for example, as emulsion or foam stabilisers). Here a model for the surface rhological behaviour of surfactants layers showing 2-D aggregation is developed. The model allows the surface dilational elasticity as a function of the area perturbation frequency to be expressed as a function of the equilibrium and kinetics parameters characterising the system. The interpretation of experimental data according to the model allows the kinetic features of the aggregation process to be measured. (literal)

Abstract

Reorganization processes in the adsorbed layer, like the phase transition of the adsorbed molecules from gaseous to liquid state, can play an important role in determining the equilibrium and dynamic behavior of surfactant systems. In fact, a model [Vollhardt D. et al. J. Pkys. Chem. B 2000, 104, 5744] allowing for two possible adsorption states of the molecules, in the two different phases, has been successfully applied to describe the equilibrium properties and the aging of liquid interfaces. The problem of the rheological behavior of an adsorption layer in the presence of phase transition processes is here addressed, which represents a rather important need to increase the insight into the properties of these surfactant systems and to support the experimental investigations. Thus, the main goal of the paper is the calculation of the frequency dependence of the dynamic surface elasticity (or dilational viscoelasticity), within the framework of the phase transition model. The dynamic surface elasticity of the insoluble monolayers, is also derived as a particular case of the general approach given here. According to the results, significant differences exist with respect to the predictions of the classical models. The specific features of the modulus and phase of the surface elasticity allow information about the kinetics of the aggregation process to be derived by experimental data. (literal)
