This monograph delivers a comprehensive introduction into the fast developing research field
of dynamic processes at liquid/gas and liquid/liquid interfaces. Theory and experimental results
are considered systematically and discussed with respect to processes at interfaces.
Dynamic Surface Phenomena serves both as an introduction and as a compendium of accumulated knowledge for more
experienced practitioners. It is the first extensive review available on the subject of dynamics of
adsorption and gives a general summary of the current state of adsorption kinetics theory and experiments.
From the Foreword: “...The book also reviews recent progress in new-designed set-ups and
improved and generalised known methods for studying interfacial relaxations. So far insufficiently
described processes like adsorption from micellar solutions or adsorption with transfer across the interface
are included. Also the very recent developments of interfacial molecular processes on the dynamics
of adsorption layers, such as molecular reorientation and aggregation, are described in detail. The
book also describes present theories of the effect of dynamic adsorption layers on mobile surfaces, such
as deformed drops and bubbles, based on both diffusion and kinetic controlled adsorption models
and introduces efficient approximate analytical methods to solve the mathematical problem of
coupling between surfactant transport and hydrodynamics...”
Target Audience: Scientists, technologists, and postgraduate students interested in the
fundamentals of non-equilibrium interfacial properties.
