New publication with collaborators at Northwestern U.
A new manuscript was published online today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions. This work was the result of a collaboration with the Geiger and Thomson groups at Northwestern U. and Prof. McNeill. The Northwestern team measured surface tension depression in aqueous aerosol mimics by isoprene oxidation products known to form secondary organic aerosol. Surface tension depression is an indication of the formation of an organic film at the gas-aqueous interface, and has important implications for cloud formation and aerosol heterogeneous chemistry.
