Langmuir films at the oil/water interface revisited

Growth of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Crystals in Langmuir Films at the Air/water Interface

Plato’s Cave Revisited: Science at the Interface

Scientific exploration and thus our knowledge about the outside world is subject to the conditions of our experience. These conditions are condensed here into an interface model, which, besides being physical, has an additional interface structure not reducible to physics. We suggest that this structure can dynamically be characterized by separate modes, Mi. Their selection and operation presup...

MonolayerÕbilayer transition in Langmuir films of derivatized gold nanoparticles at the gasÕwater interface: An x-ray scattering study

The microscopic structure of Langmuir films of derivatized gold nanoparticles has been studied as a function of area/particle on the water surface. The molecules (AuSHDA) consist of gold particles of mean core diameter D;22 Å that have been stabilized by attachment of carboxylic acid terminated alkylthiols, HS– (CH2)15– COOH. Compression of the film results in a broad plateau of finite pressure...

Langmuir films stability phenomenon of glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether at the air-water interface for variations spreading time

Langmuir films behavior of asymmetric glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether (GDNT) lipids at the air-water interface (temperature 19 ̊C ± 1 ̊C) investigated the stability of the mean ratio of Langmuir films for different spreading time prior to the transfer film. Floating monolayer films stability is an important parameter to obtain high-quality Langmuir-Blodgett films for their aplications. Hyster...
