Surface phase separation and collapse of the stearate anion–alkaline earth cation complex
The surface properties of fatty acid and fatty acid–alcohol mixtures were examined at 22–24°C. At pH 12, sodium stearate forms a rigid surface film that generates an equilibrium spreading pressure of 16.5 dynes/cm. At pH 12, stearate–alkaline earth cation films collapse at the air-water interface an...
