Abstract

Abstract The ultra-thin layer of glycerol α-cis-9-octadecenate (glycerol α-monooleate:GMO) could be formed by impregnating nitrocellulose (NC) film with GMO and by then filling microscopically the interstices of the network structure of NC with microdrops of GMO. The dielectric dispersion characteristic of this film was found to be similar to that observed for bimolecular films. In a concentrated KCl solution (100 mM), however, an anomalous dielectric dispersion phenomenon was observed below 10 kHz. The low-frequency dispersion was attributed to surface conductance along the planes of contact between the GMO microdrops and the NC network. The ultra-thin film of di(cis-9-octadecenyl)phosphate (dioleyl phosphate: DOPH) could also be formed by this method. When a constant DC voltage (50 mV) was applied across the film in a 20 mM KCl solution, the electric current through the whole system changed periodically.
