Abstract
IN an investigation on the oxidation and polymerization of polymerizable glycerides, it appeared feasible to follow the polymerization accompanying the oxidation by measuring the change of potential at the gas/liquid interface, as the liquid phase passes abruptly to a solid or gel phase. This has been successfully accomplished. From this it was considered that similar changes in surface potential might attend the change from liquid to solid of pure polar materials at the melting point.
