Investigation of mixing in binary surfactant solutions by surface tension and neutron reflection: Anionic/nonionic and zwitterionic/nonionic mixtures by Hines, J, Thomas, R, Garrett, P, Rennie, G, Penfold, J

“…The C12maltoside/ C12betaine mixture was found to behave regularly in that βσ showed negligible variation with either surface pressure or composition. On the other hand for the nonideal pair, SDS/C12maltoside, the magnitude of βσ decreased with surface pressure, consistent with reduced interaction as the molecules are more widely spaced, and also decreased with higher SDS fraction in the layer, consistent with an increasing contribution from electrostatic repulsion.…”

Near infrared (NIR) lanthanide emissive Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers formed using Nd(III) directed self-assembly synthesis of chiral amphiphilic ligands. by Barry, D, Kitchen, J, Albrecht, M, Faulkner, S, Gunnlaugsson, T

“…The formation of the self-assembly in solution was also monitored by observing the changes in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra; and large differences were observed between the 1:3 and other stoichiometries in the spectra, allowing for correlation to be made with that seen in the emission studies of these systems. Surface pressure-area and surface pressure-time isotherms evidenced the formation of stable Langmuir monolayers of Nd.13 and Nd.23 at an air-water interface, and the deposition of these monolayers onto a quartz solid substrate (Langmuir-Blodgett films) gave rise to immobilized chiral monomolecular films which exhibited Nd(III) NIR luminescence upon excitation of the ligand chromophore, demonstrating efficient energy transfer to the Nd(III) excided state (sensitized) with concomitant emission centered at 800 and 1334 nm.…”

Effect of Amphotericin B on the Thermodynamic Properties and Surface Morphology of the Pulmonary Surfactant Model Monolayer during Respiration by Juan Wang, Jia Wang, Xinzhong Wang, Zhen Wang

“…The effects of different molar ratios of AmB on the thermodynamic properties and surface morphology of the pulmonary surfactant monolayer at different surface pressures was evaluated. The results showed that when the molar ratio of AmB to lipids in the pulmonary surfactant was less than 1:1, the main intermolecular force was attractive at a surface pressure greater than 10 mN/m. …”
