water/oil/surfantant

This is my 5th animation as graduation work in 2001.

The theme of my graduation thesis was about a solubilization of surfactant[surface active agent].
I was interested in a world of micro happening through this investigation. There is a idiom,"oil and water". This is used as like cats and dogs because oil and water are never mixed each other.
But we find that there are many thing and happen used by their behavior at same time like soup, detergent, mayo and lotion from our dairy life. Because the molecule have both of 2 behavior is served as the go-between. That molecule is called surfactant.

I made an animation about this micro phenomenon with plot. The main materials are "butyl stearate" (natural, mainly beef tallow and palm oil, used by cosmetics) and "ABS [Sodium Alkylbenzene Sulphonate]"(petroleum, used for dissolving greasy dirt).

The music was made by Kawamura-kun who is my college junior fellow.
