Molecular Organization of Surfactants at Solid-Liquid Interfaces
Abstract
Interactions between surfactant solutions and solid surfaces play a key role in technologically important processes such as colloidal stabilization, ore flotation, and soil removal; however, the interfacial aggregation of surfactant molecules is not yet well understood. Direct images of surfactant aggregates at solid surfaces in aqueous solutions were obtained with atomic force microscopy. The resulting structures for quaternary ammonium surfactants (above the critical micelle concentration) are consistent with half-cylinders on crystalline hydrophobic substrates, full cylinders on mica, and spheres on amorphous silica. These structures-surprisingly different from earlier models-appear to result from a compromise between the natural free curvature as defined by intermolecular interactions and the constraints imposed by specific surfactant-surface interactions. Such interfacial aggregates can potentially be used to pattern surfaces at nanometer-length scales.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
