Abstract
Dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DDPE) Langmuir films at the air/water interface have been studied. These films exhibit high stability. The result ing films transferred on muscovite have been studied by scanning force micr oscopy with the contact mode. At the microscopic scale, DDPE Langmuir-Blodg ett films appear densely packed with few defects. At molecular resolution t he films appear well ordered; the double tail of the lipids has been observ ed. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
