Organization of two-dimensional phospholipid monolayers on a gel-forming substrate.
The formation and structural evolution of two-dimensional amphiphilic monolayers on a liquid mineral sol undergoing a sol-gel transition have been studied by surface x-ray scattering techniques. The gelation process is accompanied by the formation of a single layer of mineral particles beneath the surface, inducing a reorganization of the lipidic monolayers.
