Prediction of the Interfacial Properties of Liquid-Vapor Interfaces Generated by Dilute Solutions

Ben Curlee

Liquid interfaces are present in many systems of interest, but the behavior of these interfaces can be difficult to predict. This work derives a model, Dilute Solution Theory (DST), for predicting changes to the surface tension and surface excess via a quadratic taylor expansion with respect to solute molality.**Note: I graduated last semester, but I am supported by the Faculty Undergraduate Research Proposals and presenting at a poster session is a requirement.
