Computational studies on the behaviour of anionic and nonionic surfactants at the SiO_{2} (silicon dioxide)/water interface

Molecular dynamics simulations to study the behaviour of anionic (Sodium Dodecylsulfate, SDS) and nonionic (Monooleate of Sorbitan, SPAN80) surfactants close to a SiO_{2} (silicon dioxide) surface were carried out. Simulations showed that a water layer was first adsorbed on the surface and then the...
