Surface investigation of chitosan film with fatty acid monolayers

The surface pressure- molecular area (-A) isotherm curves of two fatty acids of different chain lengths, i.e. stearic (C18) and arachidic (C20) acids, were obtained by using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. Results showed clear isotherm plots with limiting mean molecular area around 21 Å2 for both...
