Structure of hydrocarbon chains in surfactant monolayers at the air/water interface: Neutron reflection from dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide

We have determined the structure of a monolayer of dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (C12TAB) adsorbed at the air/water interface at its critical micelle concentration (c.m.c., 14 mmol dm-3) at a level of resolution of blocks of four methylene groups. This has been done by labelling the surfactant m...
