Effect of ionization and cation selectivity on the expansion of stearic acid monolayers

Force–area isotherms of stearic acid and stearic acid–stearyl alcohol mixtures were investigated on alkaline subphases that contained Tris, Na+, or K+ cations and that varied in pH and ionic strength. The monolayer behaved as though ionization was effectively complete in the expanded region of the f...
