The adsorption from solution onto griseofulvin powder of a series of non‐ionic detergents of the polyoxyethylene glycol mono alkyl ether type is described. Results are also given for polyethylene glycol 400 and a new detergent, pentaerythritol mono‐n‐octyl ether, whose synthesis and purification is reported. The effect of temperature on the adsorption is studied and possible explanations of the variation of adsorption with temperature are based on the orientation of the molecules at the interface; this is deduced from measured molecular areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
