Abstract:
In this publication, we describe the growth of coherent thin films of calcium carbonate and stearic acid at the liquid-liquid interface. We present a new method to prepare durable, cohesive films. These extended film structures have a thickness of the order of 10 microm. They were characterized by two-dimensional shear rheology, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering.
