Langmuir films stability phenomenon of glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether at the air-water interface for variations spreading time

Langmuir films stability phenomenon of glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether at the air-water interface for variations spreading time

Langmuir films behavior of asymmetric glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether (GDNT) lipids at the air-water interface (temperature 19 ̊C ± 1 ̊C) investigated the stability of the mean ratio of Langmuir films for different spreading time prior to the transfer film. Floating monolayer films stability is an important parameter to obtain high-quality Langmuir-Blodgett films for their aplications. Hyster...

Growth of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Crystals in Langmuir Films at the Air/water Interface

Monomolecular organization of the main tetraether lipid from Thermoplasma acidophilum at the water-air interface.

The monomolecular organization of the main tetraether phospholipid from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was studied by means of a Langmuir film balance integrated into a fluorescence microscope. After transfer to solid surfaces at different pressures the films were further investigated by ellipsometry, small angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy. In order to complete former r...

Blends of Poly (ε-caprolactone) and Intermediate Molar Mass Polystyrene as Langmuir Films at the Air/water Interface

Photoswitching the mechanical properties in Langmuir layers of semifluorinated alkyl-azobenzenes at the air-water interface.

Semifluorinated alkyl-azobenzene derivatives (SFAB) can form stable Langmuir layers at the air-water interface. These systems combine the amphiphobic character of semifluorinated alkyl units as structure-directing motifs with photochromic behavior based on the well-known reversible cis-trans isomerization upon irradiation with UV and visible light. Herein, we report our investigations of the st...
