Structural characteristics of the epitropic liquid-crystalline layer of oleic acid

Abstract

The investigations of the structure of thin oleinic acid interlayers bounded by quartz and metallized substrates were carried out by the method of admixtured adsorption dichroism. It allowed us to determine structural the existence of epitropic liquid crystalline layers of this compound and the peculiarities of structural parameters, which affect on the important lubricant characteristic.
