The obtained contact angle isotherms were described by the exponential function of the second order as well as by Szyszkowski equation in some cases. Using the contact angle isotherms of individual biosurfactants and TX165 as well as the earlier obtained isotherms of their surface tension the contact angle isotherms of the biosurfactants mixtures with TX165 were deduced. As follows the presence of the maxima on the contact angle isotherms of the biosurfactants mixtures with TX165 is justified. They do not prove negative adsorption of the biosurfactant and TX165 at the interfaces. However, the mutual exchange of the biosurfactant and TX165 molecules is observed in the layers at the interfaces. The concentration of the studied mixtures at the PTFE-solution interface was established to be close to that at the solution-air one but that at the PTFE-air is equal to zero. However, the concentration of the studied mixtures at the PMMA-solution and quartz-solution is greater than zero. The concentration at the PMMA(quartz)-air and PMMA(quartz)-solution interfaces is smaller than that at the solution-air one.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27154706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]],"date-time":"2022-07-25T01:42:13Z","timestamp":1658713333000},"page":"4706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Wetting Properties of Rhamnolipid and Surfactin Mixtures with Triton X-165"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Edyta","family":"Rekiel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interfacial Phenomena, Faculty of Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Sciences, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University in Lublin, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska Sq. 3, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Zdziennicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interfacial Phenomena, Faculty of Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Sciences, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University in Lublin, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska Sq. 3, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1791-2893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Szymczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interfacial Phenomena, Faculty of Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Sciences, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University in Lublin, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska Sq. 3, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8852-4495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bronis\u0142aw","family":"Ja\u0144czuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interfacial Phenomena, Faculty of Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Sciences, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University in Lublin, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska Sq. 3, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rosen, M.J.
