Films of hydrocarbon—stearic acid mixtures
The formation of monomolecular layers on a barium buffer hypophase and of built-up Y-films is described for various mixtures of stearic acid with n-octadecane, n-octacosane, and n-hexatriacontane. The thickness of the resulting mixed films is interpreted with reference to their structure. The existe...

| Summary: | The formation of monomolecular layers on a barium buffer hypophase and of built-up
Y-films is described for various mixtures of stearic acid with
n-octadecane,
n-octacosane, and
n-hexatriacontane. The thickness of the resulting mixed films is interpreted with reference to their structure. The existence of a limiting proportion of 1 molecule of hydrocarbon to 2 molecules of stearic acid is explained by the crystal structure of the films. The relationship between three-dimensional and two-dimensional molecular compounds containing aliphatic acids is discussed. |
