Revisiting the Thermodynamics of Water Surfaces and the Effects of Surfactant Head Group

It is common knowledge that surfactants lower the surface tension of water. The typical textbook explanation of this phenomenon is that the force of attraction between surfactant and water molecules is less than that between two water molecules; hence the surface contraction force decreases in the p...
