The measurement of adsorbed surfactant is important to fields such as corrosion inhibition, metal cleaning, and separation technologies. The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is an important tool that can be used to measure adsorbed surfactant. However, such measurements are subject...
