Relaxation mechanism in methyl stearate monolayer films at the air/water interface

A monolayer film of methyl stearate was compressed until catastrophic film collapse took place. Surface pressure relaxation was then followed as a function of time. Investigation involving the effects of film compression beyond the collapse pressure revealed an important process involved in the surf...
