The Role of Electrostatic Repulsion on Increasing Surface Activity of Anionic Surfactants in the Presence of Hydrophilic Silica Nanoparticles
Abstract Hydrophilic silica nanoparticles alone are not surface active. They, however, develop a strong electrostatic interaction with ionic surfactants and consequently affect their surface behavior. We report the interfacial behavior of n-heptane/anionic-surfactant-solutions in the presence of hyd...
