Anionic control of autonomous motion of oil/water interface with cationic surfactant
Autonomous motions of an oil/water interface can be controlled by hydrophobicity of an anion and its chemical reaction with a cationic surfactant. Hydrophobic anions generate a rhythmical motion of the contact line, and hydrophilic anions induce the Marangoni instability. A cooperative effect of them to causes an outstanding motion of the interface.
