Jp. Fang et al., STUDY OF THE MODULUS OF ELASTICITY BY LINEAR COMPRESSION OF AN ADSORBED LAYER, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 97(3), 1995, pp. 271-278
It is shown that for an adsorbed monolayer, the modulus of elasticity
can be obtained from linear compression of the surface. A theory has b
een developed using the diffusion penetration theory, in which convect
ion due to the surface compression is neglected. The method, which is
comparable with that of J. Lucassen and M. Van den Tempel (J. Colloid
Interface Sci., 41 (1972) 491, and Chem. Eng. Sci., 17 (1972) 1283), i
s illustrated for adsorbed decanoic acid monolayers.
