Stability of fatty acid monolayers and the relationship between equilibrium spreading pressure, phase transformations, and polymorphic crystal forms
Force-area isotherms were obtained for hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, eicosanoic, and docosanoic acid monolayers at different compression rates. Equilibrium spreading pressures were determined both by monolayer collapse and by spreading from the bulk phase. Monolayers formed metastable phases at all pr...
