Abstract
The surfaces of soluble surfactant solutions exhibit viscoelastic dilational behaviour and their properties may be investigated using surface longitudinal waves generated by small amplitude sinusoidal displacements. A theoretical description of the dynamic dilational surface properties of multicomponent surfactant solutions subject to such displacements has been developed for a system where surface relaxation is due entirely to diffusion and micelles are absent. The properties of the resultant equations for some model systems obeying a simplified equation of state have been investigated.
