Some new treatments to the electroanalysis of surfactants (electrocapillary measurements, adsorption and compression voltammetry)

Abstract

In this paper the principles of a few recent contributions to a further development of polarography and voltammetry are summarized. Special electrocapillary drop-time measurements, voltammetry of surfactants on renewed miniaturized stationary mercury electrodes, principles of the contractive and contractive & expansive measuring systems and three contributions to the theory of adsorption processes (adsorption isotherms, the peak potential shifts with concentration and the relative adsorptivity of surfactants) are discussed.
