Abstract

The first surface-pressure-dependent investigations of the interaction between poly(oxyethylene) and a surfactant bilayer of C(18)E(5) are reported. The measurements clearly indicate that only for surfactants having their natural head-group area Sigma(0) no attractive polymer surfactant interactions can be detected.
