Molecular orientation of phospholipid Langmuir-Blodgett films
The molecular organization of the phospholipids Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on solid substrates has been studied via Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy. In this study, the formation of well organized ultra thin LB films of phospholipid molecules has been performed by depositing the monolayer onto the solid substrates of silicon wafer. The space filling molecular models of two types of phospholipids have been proposed on the basis of the FTIR spectra.
