Experimental results show that it is possible to form the interface-associated material caused by the attraction of the dispersion forces at the pure alkane-water interface. The type of material is sensitive to the interfacial pressure. Under the influence of the interfacial pressure, the stability of the interface associated materials decreases with the increase of the number of alkane carbons.展开更多
