## Abstract

The kinetics of non-ionic surfactant adsorption at a fluid-fluid interface from a micellar solution is considered theoretically. Our model takes into account the effect of micelle relaxation on the diffusion of the free surfactant molecules. It is shown that non-ionic surfactants undergo either a diffusion or a kinetically limited adsorption according to the characteristic relaxation time of the micelles. This gives a new interpretation for the observed dynamical surface tension of micellar solutions.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
