The role of ionic interactions between sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and sapphire surfaces have been studied using specular neutron reflection to determine the structure and composition of adsorbed surfactant layers. Increasing the pH of the solution from 3 to 9 reduces the adsorption by reversing the charge of the alumina. This occurs at lower pH for the R-plane (1 (1) over bar 02) than the C-plane (0001), corresponding to the different points of zero charge. The largest surface excess is about 6.5 mu mol m(-2), the thickness of the adsorbed layer is about 24 angstrom and it contains roughly 20% water. The hydrocarbon tails of the surfactant molecules clearly interpenetrate rather than form an ordered bilayer. The structure is similar in either pure water or in 0.1 M NaCl when the surfactant is at the respective critical micelle concentration. Different structures were seen with lithium and cesium dodecyl sulfate. The CsDS forms dense layers with little or no hydration and a surface excess of about 10.5 mu mol m(-2). The metal cation strongly influences the hydration of the adsorbed surfactant. An overall picture of 'flattened micelles' for the structure of the adsorbed layer is observed.
