Kinetic constants are determined by desorption experiments in pendant drops in which the interface adjacent to a surfactant solution is removed from equilibrium by replacing the subphase of the drop with pure water. Further, we demonstrate that although the rate of subphase exchange is comparatively slow with respect to the desorption timescale, it is possible to resolve desorption processes which occur under local equilibrium with the adjacent bulk phase from those that are determined in part by sorption kinetics. Experiments which measure the desorption kinetic coefficient, , using a homologous series of n-alkyl (C8, C10, C12, C14) dimethyl phosphine oxides are presented. 相似文献
