Abstract

Abstract It was shown that stable surface films of nonpolar substances could often be formed on water by mixing them with stearic acid, and that in the resulting mixed films the nonpolar substance existed in the state of rather stable unit of particles, forming monoparticle films. The dimension of the surface particles could be calculated for some nonpolar substances. The mechanism of the film-stabilizing action of stearic acid was discussed and it was suggested that the different film-stabilizing substances would stabilize the film of nonopolar substance in a different manner.
