The Rate of Evaporation of Water through Fatty Acid Monolayers
Robert J. Archer, Victor K. La Mer · The Journal of Physical Chemistry (1955)
Key finding (our summary)
Measures how fatty-acid monolayers slow the evaporation of water under controlled conditions, quantifying the resistance a single molecular layer adds.
An early quantitative study linking film chemistry to evaporation resistance.
