✦ Synopsis

The characteristic surface pressure-area compression isotherm and surface pressure-surface potential curves are reported for bis-(p-toluene sulphonate) of 2,4-hexadiyne-l,6-diol (TS) spread on a water surface. The elasticity of the TS film as a function of surface pressure is measured by means of a dynamic method. The polymerization of the TS film on the water surface was initiated by u.v. irradiation and the reaction was found to be instantaneous without any induction period. The reaction is thus much more rapid in comparison with the solid-state polymerization of TS in its crystalline state.
