Comparison of Monolayer Behaviors between ω - Tricosenyl Alcohol and ω - Tricosenoic Acid

Abstract

Abstract The effect of subphase pH on the surface pressure-area isotherms and the variation of transfer ratio according to the stroke number were investigated for the monolayers of ω -tricosenyl alcohol and ω - tricosenoic acid. The monolayer of ω -tricosenyl alcohol showed more stable spreading behaviors and more efficient deposition than that of ω tricosenoic acid.
