Molecular dynamics simulations to study the behaviour of anionic (Sodium Dodecylsulfate, SDS) and nonionic (Monooleate of Sorbitan, SPAN80) surfactants close to a SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) surface were carried out. Simulations showed that a water layer was first adsorbed on the surface and then the sur...
