X-Ray Study of Thermotropic Mesophases of an n-Triacontanol Adsorption Film at the n-Hexadecane - Water Interface.
Using synchrotron radiation with a photon energy of 15 keV, the molecular structure of an adsorbed n-triacontanol layer at the n-hexadecane - water interface in different its phase states has been studied by the method of diffuse X-ray scattering. The analysis of the experimental data shows that a transition to the multilayer adsorption occurs at a temperature below the two-dimensional vapor - liquid transition at the interface. This transition has been attributed to a feature in the temperature dependence of the concentration of micelles in a surface layer 100 - 200 {\AA} thick.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
