Influence of Monolayers on the Natural Rate of Evaporation of Water
W. W. Mansfield · Nature (1955)
Key finding (our summary)
Reports the influence of monolayers on the natural evaporation rate of water, an early demonstration that surface films can measurably cut loss.
One of the first results to bring monolayer evaporation control to wide scientific attention.
