Abstract

The dynamic surface tension of micellar surfactant solutions was measured using the maximum bubble pressure method. The chosen surfactants were carboxy- and sulfo-betaines. At the beginning, surface tension decay curves are consistent with a diffusion-controlled adsorption. However, at long times these curves were analyzed by using the Fainerman model. From these experiments, the rate constants for demicellization were obtained. The micelle dissociation rate constant depends of the surfactant concentration, the concentration dependence is interpreted by Aniansson's theory, and the micelle dissociation constant independent of surfactant concentration was calculated. The rate constants found in this work are of the same order of magnitude as those obtained using classical techniques for fast reactions.

Kurzfassung

Die dynamische Oberflächenspannung von mizellaren oberflächenaktiven Lösungen wurde mittels der Methode des maximalen Blasendrucks gemessen. Die ausgewählten oberflächenaktiven Substanzen waren Carboxyl- und Sulfobetain. Anfangs waren die Abfälle der dynamischen Oberflächenspannung übereinstimmend mit einer diffusionskontrollierten Adsorption. Diese Kurven wurden jedoch in Log-Zeiten mittels des Fainerman-Models analysiert. Aus diesen Versuchen wurde die Ratenkonstante für die Demizellisierung erhalten. Die mizellare Dissoziationskonstante war abhängig von der Konzentration der oberflächenaktiven Substanz. Diese Konzentrationsabhängigkeit wurde nach der Theorie von Aniansson interpretiert und die mizellare Dissoziationskonstante, unabhängig von der Konzentration der oberflächenaktiven Substanz, errechnet. Die Ratenkonstanten weisen dieselbe Größenordnung auf wie diejenigen, die mittels klassischer Methoden für schnelle Reaktionen erhalten werden.
