Abstract

Theoretical models of the exchange of matter at interfaces are necessary to interpret relaxation phenomena in surfactant adsorption layers. For liquid-liquid systems, the diffusion-controlled exchanges of surfactant molecules at the interfaces can be influenced by a simultaneous transfer of molecules from one bulk phase to the other. The diffusional mass exchange function is derived taking into account the transfer across the interface. The resulting mass exchange function is used to calculate the interfacial tension response of a liquid-liquid system. As an example, the interfacial response after a ramp-type area perturbation is calculated.
