Shifting of fatty acid monolayer phases due to ionization of the headgroups

R Johann, D Vollhardt, H Möhwald - Langmuir, 2001 - ACS Publications
Monolayers of simple fatty acids exhibit a rich polymorphism with at least seven solid
phases. The reason for such a variety of phases is not known yet and therefore is the object …
