Abstract
Phase behavior of monoacylglycerol - fatty alcohol binary mixture has been studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (Fr-IR) spectroscopy. Molecular compound formation was observed at equal molar ratio of monoacylglycerol and fatty alcohol. This molecular compound forms pseudo-hexagonal subcell packing by FT-IR study. It seems that heterogeneous nucleation of fatty alcohol induced from thin film of monoacylglycerolthis is affected by this molecular compound.
