Creating long-range hydrophobic forces by coadsorption of ionic and neutral surfactants

A Mark IV surface force apparatus was used to measure surface forces between mica surfaces in dodecylamine hydrogen chloride (DAHCI) solutions at pH 5.7 in the presence and absence of long-chain alcohols. With DAHCI alone, only "short-range" hydrophobic forces were observed with decay leng...
