The photopolymerization of monolayers prepared at the gas-water interface with two styrene functionalized surfactants is studied and peculiar features of the film structures are described. When these films are irradiated with UV light, at constant surface pressure, their areas decrease monotonically as a function of the irradiation time. Phase...

In this paper we report the results of surface pressure-area measurements and fluorescence microscopy of Langmuir monolayers of bipolar lipids extracted from the thermophilic archaeobacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus. We have analysed the two-dimensional phase behaviour of the polar lipid extract, some of its subfractions and the hydrolytic...
