The aim of this study was to characterize phospholipids bilayers deposited through
Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Quartz Crystal
Microbalance (QCM) sensor. Phospholipids dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC),
dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE)
bilayers were deposited. Also, hybrid monolayer of DMPC/Cholesterol (DMPC/CHOL) was
prepared. Phospholipid with concentration of 1 mg.ml-1 in chloroform solution was spread at the
air-water interface of a Teflon-made LB trough containing a subphase of Milli-Q water using the
single-shot method. Phospholipid monolayers were transferred onto the QCM crystal and ZnSe
crystals as planar solid support for FTIR measurements using the vertical dipping method.
Homogeneous molecular LB films of DMPC, DMPE, DPPE phospholipids and DMPC/CHOL hybrid
were produced and characterized by isotherms (Π-area), transfer ratio (θ) and QCM frequency
changes results. Also, FTIR spectra results have also indicated the surface molecular organization and
packing with the presence of major vibration bands.
