Liquid surfactant membrane description

Kretzschmar Voigt (1989) have recently examined the contribution of interacting forces in surfactant adsorption layers to the film pressure. A detailed knowledge of the geometry of the electrical double layer with respect to the plane of the interface is an essential item in the theoretical description of charged monolayers, thin liquid films and membranes. Fig. 2.12. shows an illustration of structural and energetic aspects of the surfactant monolayer formation.
