Abstract
We have determined the structure of a layer of monododecyl hexaethylene glycol (C 12 E 6 ) adsorbed at the air/water interface at its critical micelle concentration using neutron specular reflection together with isotopic substitution. For both the C 12 hydrocarbon chain and the E 6 ethylene glycol chain distributions the full width at half height, σ * , was found to be 13.5±1 A, to be compared with fully extended chain lengths of 16.7 and 21.6 A, respectively
