New adsorption model -- theory, phenomena and new concept

J Oleo Sci. 2015;64(1):1-8. doi: 10.5650/jos.ess14213.

Abstract

According to the conventional Gibbs adsorption model, which is a common assumption about the molecular concentration at surfaces, the adsorbed film of soluble amphiphiles is located at the air/solution interface just like Langmuir monolayer which is illustrated in many physical chemistry text books on "Colloid and Interface Science". According to many proofs of the experimental results here, the newer idea for the surface adsorption is confirmed and explained, which is quite different from the conventional Gibbs surface excess model at the air/solution interface.
