Density (ρ ± 10-3 kgm-3), surface tension (γ ± 10-2 mNm-1) for 8.4 to 83.6 mmolkg-1 at 8 mmolkg-1 interval aqueous polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (C=12, Tw20), monopalmitate (C=16, Tw40), monostearate (C=18, Tw60) and monooleate (C=18, 1 double bond, Tw80) nonionic surfactants at 293.15 K are reported. Apparent molar volumes (V2) are derived from densities. The γ is used for surface excess tension (γexcess), concentration (τ) and area per molecule. The ρ and γ were regressed for ρ0 and γ0 limiting and slopes for shift from hydrophilic to hydrophobic interactions (philicphobic). The ρ0Tw20>ρ0Tw40>ρ0Tw80 >ρ0Tw60 and V20Tw60> V20Tw40> V20Tw80> V20Tw20 as limiting densities and molal volume respectively in opposite order with stronger structural interaction with Tw20 and weaker with Tw60. The γwater >γ0Tw80 >γ0Tw40 >γ0Tw20>γ0Tw60 inferred 18% weaker cohesive force (CF) and 22.68% with T60.
