In this work, we study the effect of insoluble surfactants on the three-dimensional rim-driven retraction dynamics of thin water sheets in air. We employ an interface-tracking/level-set method to ensure the full coupling between the…

We have analyzed the mechanical properties of surfactant loaded tensionless balanced liquid/liquid interfaces using self-consistent field theory implementing a coarse grained model. Such a tensionless state, as occurring in microemulsions,…

The three-phase contact line of a droplet on a smooth surface can be characterized by the Young-Dupr\'e equation. It relates the interfacial energies with the macroscopic contact angle $\theta_e$. On the mesoscale, wettability is modeled by…

We briefly review the effects of selective solvation of ions in aqueous mixtures, where the ion densities and the composition fluctuations are strongly coupled. We then examine the surface tension \gamma of a liquid-liquid interface in the…

Interface properties of a three-component Bose-Einstein condensate, in which component 3 is sandwiched by components 1 and 2 at the interface, are investigated. It is shown that component 3 can serve as a surfactant: the net interfacial…

A model for the formation of cavitation nuclei in liquids has recently been presented with basis in interfacial liquid tension at non-planar solid surfaces of concave form. In the present paper investigations of water-solid interfaces by…

Hypothesis: Surfactants are often added to aqueous solutions to induce spreading on otherwise unwettable hydrophobic surfaces. Alternatively, they can be introduced directly into solid hydrophobic materials-such as the soft elastomer,…

A Ginzburg-Landau theory is presented on surfactants in polar binary mixtures, which aggregate at an interface due to the amphiphilic interaction. They can be ionic surfactants coexisting with counterions. Including the solvation and image…

The structure of polymers at solid interfaces evolves over time, but the corresponding changes in their rheological properties remain poorly understood. Here, using a home-built quartz tuning fork atomic force microscope-based…

In this paper we study the main surface characteristics which control the foamability of solutions of various surfactants. Experiments with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants with different head groups and chain lengths are…

From soap-covered dishes to freshly cleaned floors, surfactants can make surfaces slippery; yet, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the molecular origin behind this ubiquitous phenomenon using macroscopic…

The term pristine interface was introduced by Beattie and Djerdjev 20 years ago for emulsions that consist of only water and oil with no surfactant. They are different from Pickering emulsions, which are also surfactant-free but stabilized…

The binding of a cationic surfactant (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) to a negatively charged natural polysaccharide (pectin) at air-solution interfaces, was investigated on single interfaces and in foams, versus the linear charge…

The effect of thermal fluctuations near a contact line of a liquid interface partially wetting an impenetrable substrate is studied analytically and numerically. Promoting both the interface profile and the contact line position to random…

We review the free energy approach to the kinetics of surfactant adsorption at fluid/fluid interfaces. The formalism is applied to several systems. For non-ionic surfactant solutions the results coincide with previous models while…

The results obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of the friction at an interface between polymer melts and weakly attractive crystalline surfaces are reported. We consider a coarse-grained bead-spring model of linear chains with…

Several model fluids in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical walls are investigated for small number densities within density functional theory. The dependence of the solid-fluid interfacial tension on the curvature of spherical…

Two-phase flow of two Newtonian incompressible viscous fluids with a soluble surfactant and different densities of the fluids can be modeled within the diffuse interface approach. We consider a Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard type system…

We study the mechanical contact between a deformable body with a wavy surface and a rigid flat taking into account pressurized fluid trapped in the interface. A finite element model is formulated for a general problem of trapped fluid for…

In the presence of surfactants, the interfacial tension (IFT) of microscopic droplets differs significantly from IFT of macroscopic drops for the same surfactant solutions. As a result, IFT between two immiscible liquids can strongly depend…
