Geometry and Soap Bubbles

The Freundlich isotherms for the adsorption of some ortho-alkylated phenols on carbon from cyclohexane solution have been determined. The minimum surface area covered by the adsorbed phenols is compared with the area of the molecules themselves. Large alkyl groups ortho to the hydroxyl group greatly reduce the adsorption.

Minimal Area

This paper presents a new method for reconstructing piecewise linear surfaces from planar polygonal contours that branch. For non-branching contours, experience has shown that the piecewise linear surface of minimum surface area which connects a pair of contours often provides a good solution. The current algorithm extends this idea by searching for the surface of minimal area which connects two contours comprised of more than one polygon. Several examples that justify this heuristic are provided.
