title = "Modeling the effectiveness of surfactants in sub-micron particle removal from solid substrates",
abstract = "Surfactants can enhance the removal of sub-micron particles from critical substrates such as silicon wafers and optical lenses by orders of magnitude. This study shows how the adsorption of surfactant can be used to predict cleaning performance as well as techniques to predict surfactant adsorption as a function of ionic strength and surfactant hydrocarbon chain length.",
