A systematic experimental study has been made of the interfacial tension γ of paraffin-water
interfaces on which polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was adsorbed. Special attention has been paid …

Some of the areas where interfacial protein layers dominate the boundary chemistry are
reviewed, and we introduce some nondestructive analytical methods which can be used …

In an attempt to study which factors determine the transferability of monolayers of preformed
polymers from the air-water interface onto substrates we investigated flexible polymers (poly …
