Molecular interaction study between SLS and BA or BPGA.
Results
from ten quasi-static compression–expansion LBT iso-cycles.
(A) LBT Π–A isotherms from the first
compression–expansion isocycle, three independent replicates.
(B) Last cycle isotherm (out of a total of ten). SLS, SLS–BA
and SLS–BPGA; three independent replicates. (C) Comparison
of maximum surface pressures at the first and last (10th) cycles.
(D) Compressibility modulus with both raw and smoothed data (Savitzky–Golay
filter over nine points) shown. Arrows point to areas of interest
in the graph (see text). (E) Hysteresis of the first and last cycles
relative to the SLS first cycle. Experiments done at 25 °C. Preliminary
results at 37 °C (Supporting Information Figure S2) did not allow us to investigate molecular interactions
at high surface pressures. (F) Investigated vaping compounds. Significance
values represent results from two-Way ANOVAs; “ns”:
not significant (p > 0.05), *p <
0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001,
****p < 0.0001.
