Abstract
FT-IR spectra of black lipid films formed by dimyristoyl phosphatidylc holine (DMPC) in air were recorded at various temperatures for the fir st time. Balck lipid films drawn from a DMPC aqueous dispersion and a DMPC+0.1 MCaCl(2) aqueous dispersion showed the gel to liquid crystal phase transition at about 24 and 27 degrees C, respectively.
