Abstract

An investigation is reported on the behavior of amphiphilic cyclodextrins at the air/water interface. Stable surface pressure vs area curves weee recorded for many of the materials investigated. The addition of N(CH3)4C1 or KC1 to the subphase was found to result in a small but reproducible contraction in the isotherms. Preliminary work also showed that Langmuir-Blodgett films of some materials could be built up on solid surfaces, although the resulting layers weee of poor quality. © 1995, American Chemical Society.
