Influence of surfactant-facilitated interfacial tension reduction on organic liquid migration in porous media: observations and numerical simulation.
That interface typically is the "weak link" in thermoplastic composites, as high-viscosity engineering resins are unable to fully wet out the preform due to high interfacial tension.
Surfactants, when used in small quantities, reduce surface tension in a fluid or the interfacial tension between two immiscible fluids, such as oil and water.
