Evaporation Enhancement by Protein Films

Abstract

Evaporation of water takes place more rapidly from buffered solutions of ovalbumin or hemoglobin than from solutions of certain surface-active agents or from buffer alone. The effect appears to be connected with adsorption of protein.

“…7, July 1964 sorption (513) and a comparative study of liquid and vapor permeation through various polymer films (514) have been reported. James, et al, commented on the enhancement of evaporation by protein films as compared with solutions of certain surfactants (515). A new interface balance for studying films at the oil-water interface was described (516).…”
