Abstract
Variations in the chemical composition of surfactants from natural sea slicks are compared to variations in surface elasticity using mass spectrometry, Langmuir film balance measurements, and multivariate statistical techniques. It is shown that the information on chemical class and molecular structure contained in the mass spectra is strongly correlated with measured static elasticity and can be used to estimate film elasticity at a given surface pressure. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
