The important aspect of adsorption processes at a liquid interface is lateral mobility which can lead to lateral excess transport of adsorbed molecules. Lateral transport disturbs the equilibrium state of an adsorption layer. In many important systems, such as emulsions, foams, and bubbly liquids, the properties of a non-equilibrium adsorption layer can be essential. This has been demonstrated in the systematic work of the Russian and Bulgarian schools summarised in monographs like "Thin Liquid Films" by Ivanov, "Coagulation and Dynamics of Thin Films" by Dukhin, Rulyov and Dimitrov, and "Foams and Foam Films" by Krugljakov and Exerowa. These books pay most attention to thick film drainage and stabilisation/destabilisation of thin liquid films. This book is focused on other dynamic processes at liquid interfaces in general or connected with phenomena of emulsions and foams.
