Abstract: | Dynamic surface tension values of aqueous surfactant solutions were measured by using the ring and plate method. The mean diffusion coefficients calculated on the basis of the purely diffusion controlled adsorption model vary between 2 · 10–6 to 7 · 10–6 cm2/s for all surfactants studied:n-alkanols,n-alkanoic acids, dimethyl and diethyln-alkyl phosphine oxides. That means the surfactants investigated adsorb with a purely diffusion controlled adsorption mechanism and no barriers excist to hinder sorption processes.Nomenclature
