“…The film morphology and composition in these immiscible systems is regulated by a combination of inter-related factors, including dipole-dipole repulsion between charged surfactant headgroups, line-tension, kinetics of surface domain growth, substrate-mediated condensation and hydrodynamic flow effects [2,5,7,8,10,11]. Further control of film morphology has been demonstrated by exploiting solubility of the components in an aqueous subphase, as well as through kinetic control of the phase-separation process [10,11]. Through careful manipulation of these factors, a wide range of different film morphologies can be prepared, ranging from circular domains to nanoscale wires and lines [3].…”
