An equation that relates the change in surface tension to the adsorption of molecules on a surface.
Interfacial Tension: The tension that exists between two immiscible fluids at their interface.
Surface Tension: The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid.
Thermodynamics of Interfaces: The study of the equilibrium state of interfaces between two phases.
Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm: The relationship between the surface pressure of a gas over a liquid and the amount of gas adsorbed on the liquid surface.
Gibbs Adsorption Equation: The equation that describes the change in surface free energy as molecules are added to or removed from the surface.
Surface Pressure: The pressure exerted at the interface of a liquid and gas.
Surface Excess: The amount of a substance found at the interface of a liquid and gas that is in excess of the bulk concentration.
Spreading Coefficient: The difference between the surface tensions of two different immiscible liquids at their interface.
Adsorption: The process by which molecules adhere to a surface.
Interfacial Energy: The amount of energy required to create and maintain an interface between two phases.
