N2 - The interchange (interaction) parameter, controlling the phase behaviour of a binary mixture, is determined for the bulk and the surface of binary mixtures of different types of chain molecules, using surface tensiometry and a mean-field theory. For all mixtures and concentrations studied an identical behaviour is observed at the surface, depending only on the square of the reduced chain length mismatch Δ n n̄ , where Δ n and n̄ are the difference in and average of the number of carbons of the two components.
