Two-dimensional Liquids

Mixed film theories (4-8) The essential feature of the mixed film theories is to consider the film as a liquid, two dimensional third phase in equilibrium with both oil and water, implying that such a monolayer could be a duplex film, i.e., one giving different properties on the water side than on the oil side (4). According to these theories, the interfacial tension Y is given by the expression,... 

The film (which may consist of surfactant and cosurfactant molecules) is considered as a liquid two-dimensional third phase in equilibrium with both oil and water... 

The incomplete-dimensional physical D-spaces of liquid - two-dimensional (nanofilms), one-dimensional (nanothreads) and zero-dimensional (nanodrops) - exist only in the form of nonstructural second liquid L2 (Fig. 3a). Or else, in the concise form any nanoscale liquid is second liquid. Note that this formulation might be considered a definition of the notion "dimension factor".
