Repulsive forces in lecithin glycol lamellar phases.
The repulsive pressure vs. distance for phospholipid bilayers in glycol has been determined from vapor pressure measurements. The magnitude of this pressure is similar to the case when water is present between the lipid bilayers. Hence, an interaction directly corresponding to the previously reported hydration force is shown also for nonaqueous lecithin/solvent systems.
