Abstract
coinciding with 83.6% synergy. These findings underscore the favorable interactions between oppositely charged components in the mixtures, amplifying their activity beyond the linear contributions of the individual surfactants. Additionally, theoretical assessments using the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Rosen model provided insight into the adsorption behavior of both the individual surfactants and their mixtures, together with reasonable variations in the corresponding parameters.
