Surface activity - Surface active agent

Japanese: 界面活性能 - かいめんかっせいのう
Surface activity - Surface active agent

…On the other hand, when dissolved in an aqueous solution, sodium higher fatty acids form micelles through molecular association at extremely low concentrations (above the critical micelle concentration), in which they solubilize organic substances, and when they coexist with oil droplets, they stably emulsify. In this way, the interface state of the substance changes, and so-called surface activity is expressed. The reason why sodium higher fatty acids are used for cleaning is due to their cleaning effect, which is the combined action of these functions. …

*Some of the terminology that refers to "surface activity" is listed below.

Japanese:

…一方,水溶液中では溶解した高級脂肪酸ナトリウムは,きわめて低い濃度(臨界ミセル濃度以上)で,溶液内で分子会合してミセルを形成し,その中に有機物質を可溶化させ,油滴などと共存する場合は安定に乳化させる。このように物質の界面状態を変化させ,いわゆる界面活性能が発現する。高級脂肪酸ナトリウムが洗浄に利用される理由は,これらの機能の複合した作用としての洗浄効果によるのである。…
