The Study of the Stepwise Hydroxyl Radical-Mediated Oxidation of Alkyl Surfactants at the Air-Water Interface
<p>This thesis presents work on the heterogeneous chemistry of surfactant monolayers adsorbed at the air-water interface with gas phase hydroxyl radicals (OH). A novel hydroxyl radical source utilizing a low-temperature plasma known as the dielectric barrier discharge source (DBDS) is designed...
