The evaporation of a solvent from a surfactant solution was investigated.
Controlled solvent evaporation exerted two different effects based on affinity of the solvent for water.
The evaporation of ethylen glycol monoethyl ether could be very well controlled by a liquid crystal surface film formed by absorption of water in the solution or in atmosphere. The evaporation of benzene and carbon tetrachloride with lower affinity to water could be controlled only by the absorbed surface film of the surfactant from the solution.
