Abstract
We have investigated the morphology of novel 3, 4-bis-alkyloxycarbonyl-hexanedioic acid monolayer (alkyl chain number n = 12, 14, and 16) formed on the water surface by dropping method using Surface Tension measurement (STm) and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM). Surfactant of 3, 4-bis-alkyloxycarbonyl-hexanedioic acid has a gemini type structure. π-A isotherm curves (STm) of two gemini surfactants of n = 12 and 14 showed gradual increase in surface pressure, while that of n = 16 showed gradual increase, a stagnant range and finally steep increase. BAM observation showed each image corresponding to the result of STm measurement. From STm and BAM results of surfactants, it is found that surfactant of n = 12 and 14 form Liquid-Expand (LE) type monolayer, while that of n = 16 formed Liquid-Condensed (LC) type monolayer including LE-LC phase transition.

In this context we have investigated for the first time the morphology of the novel Gemsurf monolayer formed on the water surface by the dropping method [13] using Surface Tension measurement (STm) and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM)
From the results of STm and BAM, it is found that Gemsurf of n = 12 and 14 is LE type monolayer, while Gemsurf of n = 16 is LC type monolayer with LE-LC phase transition

There is no report of surface properties of Gemsurf behavior at air-water interface. In this context we have investigated for the first time the morphology of the novel Gemsurf monolayer formed on the water surface by the dropping method [13] using Surface Tension measurement (STm) and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM).
