Stability of self-assembled hydrophobic surfactant layers in water.
Using contact angle measurements, surface force balance experiments, and AFM imaging, we have investigated the process of self-assembly of surfactants onto mica and the subsequent stability of those layers in pure water. In the case of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the stability of a monola...
