The characterization of the water/oil interface is the subject of many investigations because of its relevance in various areas of chemistry, biology, and technology. Many groups are currently investigating certain aspects of the interfacial behavior of the water/oil interface. However, most experiments suffer from a lack of purity of the compounds used. To understand the underlying interfacial processes necessitates first of all to have available reliable data on the applied surfactants’ adsorption properties. These, however, can only be obtained from reliable experiments.In recent years there has been considerable progress in the characterization of the amphiphiles’ adsorption properties at the air/water interface which is mainly due to improvements in the experimental boundary conditions for research in surface chemistry. They refer to (i) modifications on the experimental conditions on the surfactant solutions’ surface tension measurement in order to get accurate values, 1, 2 (ii) the application of criteria to judge the necessary and sufficient grade of “surfacechemical purity”, 3, 4 and (iii) efficient methods to obtain this grade of purity. 5, 6 This together with a new approach to the surface equation of state has revealed a lot of novel adsorption features. 7-11
