Adsorption of mixed DDA/NaOL surfactants at the air/water interface by molecular dynamics simulations

The adsorption behavior of mixed cationic dodecylamine (DDA)/anionic sodium oleate (NaOL) at different molar ratios at the air/water interface were investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Some parameters such as the distribution of headgroups, carbon chains, counterions and water, as well as the headgroups-water radial distribution function, were calculated. The simulation results show that compared to pure DDA and NaOL, their...
