Abstract
Measurements of the force of air bubble detachment from a quartz surface wetted with aliphatic hydrocarbons in water were carried out. Hydrocarbons in the homologous series from hexane to hexadecane were used. From the measurements, it was found that the contact of an air bubble with the quartz surface is strengthened under the influence of hydrocarbons This strengthening depends on the nature and amount of the hydrocarbon on the quartz surface. It was also found that differences exist between even and odd hydrocarbons in their influence on the stability of the system quartz—air bubble—water.
