Evaporation of Water: Its Retardation by Monolayers
Victor K. La Mer, Thomas W. Healy · Science (1965)
Key finding (our summary)
A landmark account of how monomolecular films retard evaporation of water, establishing the physical basis for chemical evaporation suppression.
La Mer and Healy’s work is the scientific foundation cited by most later monolayer studies.
