“…It should be recalled that the m vs X 2 H curves of the NBA-DTAC and TBA-DTAC systems deviate negatively from the ideal mixing lines (22). Considering our previous arguments on the correlation between the molecular interaction and the deviation of the total molality vs composition of adsorbed film curve from its ideal line (17)(18)(19)22), it is concluded that the molecular interaction between different species is weaker than that between the same species in the butanol-DAC systems and stronger in the butanol-DTAC systems. Here it is advantageous to remember that the phrase "molecular interaction" is employed in a thermodynamic sense so that it includes not only direct but also indirect interactions such as surfactant-surfactant, water-surfactant, and water-water interactions at given circumstances.…”
