Abstract

The interface properties of water films between fresh active mica crystal surfaces were examined. The unique properties are evident in the peculiar structure of the films, in anomalous thermal expansion, in the electro and thermal conductivity, in the degeneration of the degree of molecule rotation, and in the strong valence bond disturbance of molecules in the surface field. These properties point to the high degree of ordering for water molecules in border films on mica crystal surfaces and indicate the rise of a new interfacial quasi-solid structure. Results illustrate the existence of edge phases for liquids coupled with solids and unusual properties of water.
