The morphology and composition of phase-separated Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of stearic acid (C17H35COOH) (SA) mixed with perfluorotetradecanoic acid (C13F27COOH) (PA) have been investigated using a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements and surface pressure-area isotherms. At elevated surface pressures, the mixed film phase-separated to form a distinct series of lines (ripples), as opposed to the hexagons that have previously been observed with mixed films with longer alkyl chain fatty acids. At low surface pressures, phase separation is still observed,though a range of different domain structures was formed. The chemical composition of the phase-separated domains has been investigated by AFM-based compositional mapping, which has allowed unambiguous identification of the chemical composition of the domains. A simple mechanistic model describing how domain formation takes place in this system is presented.
