โฆ Synopsis
The mechanism controllii rapid aging of surfaces of aqueous solutions is considered with reference to the variation of dynamic surface tension with time. The Ward-Tordai and Sutherland results for the diffusion-controlled mechanism are critically discussed and a new surface model is introduced which reduces to the Sutherland result as a special case. The diffusion-controlled mechanism is inadequate for aqueous solutions of mono-alcohols. Satisfactory agreement between experiment and theory is obtained through introduction of first-order adsorption kinetics, but only for values of the adsorption rate constant which make the governing relation a complex-variable equation.

The dynamic surface tension of 10 nonionic water soluble cellulose derivatives with molecular weights (M w ) in the range 100,000 -1,300,000 has been measured by the pendant drop method at the water/air interface. The surface tension measured after 11.7 h, โฅ\*, was taken as an apparent steady state
A quantitative theory of the dynamic surface tension with a constant diffusion coefficient is developed for diffusion-controlled and diffusion-convective-controlled adsorption. The effect of the convective transfer is estimated in an analytical form for the short-time and large-time approximations.
