Langmuir monolayer miscibility of single-chain partially fluorinated amphiphiles with tetradecanoic acid

Interfacial Properties in Langmuir Monolayers and LB Films of DPPC with Partially Fluorinated Alcohol (F8H7OH)

“…For 0 ≤ X F8H7OH ≤ 0.5, the magnitude of the jump decreases and becomes unclear in terms of appearance and value with increases in X F8H7OH . The DV-A isotherms for the system shift from positive to negative values as X F8H7OH increases; this result is consistent with the behavior of other hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon systems 18,21,27 .…”

Two-Component Langmuir Monolayers and LB Films of DPPC with Partially Fluorinated Alcohol (F8H9OH)

“…Moreover, the isotherms exhibit a change in π c against X F8H9OH . The ΔV-A isotherms shift from positive to negative values as X F8H9OH increases 9,12,23 . These isotherms provide thermodynamic evidence of the monolayer miscibility between the two components.…”

Miscibility of Egg Yolk Lecithin with Palmitic Acid and Hexadecanol at the Air-Water Interface

“…Furthermore, the domain grew in size with increasing surface pressure. This phenomenon has often been observed for a first-ordered phase transition from the LE to the LC states for typical monolayers such as dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and myristic acid 32,33 . A possible explanation of this phenomenon is that a component e.g., C16:0 in eggPC was miscible with PA because of the similarity in hydrocarbon chain lengths, and thus, the domain shape varied.…”
