Hydrophobic coating of mica by stearic acid vapor deposition
Know MoreStearic acid molecules form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) triggered by its amphiphilic character, being able to produce hydrophobic coatings on top of hydrophilic surfaces STA coatings are usually created either by dry (exposure to vapors or aerosols) or by wet (immersion in solutions) process...
