Photosystem I (PSI) is a membrane protein complex that generates photoinduced electrons and transfers them across the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis. The PSI complex, separated from spinach leaves, was spread onto the air-water interface as a monolayer and transferred onto a gold electrode surface that was precoated with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The electrochemical properties...

The alveolar lining layer is thought to consist of a continuous duplex layer, i.e., an aqueous hypophase covered by a thin surfactant film which is a monolayer with dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as its most important component. Findings obtained by electron microscopy and results from in vitro experiments suggest, however, that the structure and hence the structure-function relations o...

The development of optically active area consisting organic molecules are essential for the devices like optical switches and waveguides, as it can be easily maneuvered by application suitable electromagnetic (EM) waves. In this article, we report a photoactive surface deposition single layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film novel H-shaped liquid crystal (HLC) molecule. synthesized HLC possess azo-g...

We studied the formation and stability of Stearic Acid (SA) based films on aqueous sub-phases via Langmuir trough and imaging ellipsometry experiments. The aqueous phase was based on Artificial Sea Water (ASW), a multicomponent salt solution with a total molarity of 0.53. The composition of this 10 solution was varied via dilution (1, 10 and 100 times) and adjustment of the pH (3, 7, 10). Also ...

The aggregation and supramolecular chirality of the interfacial assemblies of an achiral phthalcyanine derivative, zinc 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)-29 H,31 H-phthaloxyanine (ZnPc), were investigated, and a surface pressure dependent behavior was observed. It was found that ZnPc could be spread as a Langmuir film on water surface and transferred onto solid substrates by the horizontal...

Langmuir-Blodgett films of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene - P(VDF-TrFE)-copolymers possess substantially improved electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties, when compared with conventionally spin-cast films. In order to rationalize this, we prepared single-layered films of P(VDF-TrFE) (70 : 30) using both deposition techniques. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS),...

We report on the sensing of a hazardous pesticide alphacypermethrin (ACM) using electrochemical technique through nanocomposite film modified electrode. The comprising octadecylamine, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanowires and haemoglobin, shortly (OCPAH), was prepared by Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) deposition various substrates electrodes. composite LB characterised UV-visible spectroscopy sc...
