Langmuir Blodgett Film

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of fatty acid salts are inherently unstable due to the fundamental incompatibility of the asymmetric monolayer film transferred from the water surface with the centrosymmetric equilibrium form of the fatty acid bulk crystal. One consequence of this incompatibility is that fatty acid salt films deposited by the LB technique do not remain as flat and uniform films, but reorganize into bilayer step islands. By using mixed chain length films, the islands and holes had distinct heights that suggest this reorganization occurs by a bulk folding of the layers rather than a molecular reorganization of the molecules.We have studied cadmium arachidate (CdA) LB films, varying the substrate used, the number of layers deposited, and the time the film spends under the aqueous subphase. All films were imaged in air with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).

The phase behaviour and surface structure of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) monolayers at the air/water interface, in the absence and the presence of procaine, have been investigated by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique and atomic force microscopy. The LB films were transferred on mica, at a controlled surface pressure, characteristic for the expanded liquid to condensed liquid phase transition of pure DPPC monolayers. The results indicate that procaine penetrates into and specifically interacts with phospholipid monolayers stabilizing the lipid membrane interface.
