X Abstract

Equilibrium surface tension versus concentration curves for aqueous solutions of homologs of lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lysoPE) and two analogs of lysoPC, that is, alkylphosphorylcholine and partially fluorinated lysoPC were measured by the Wilhelmy plate method using a ground-glass plate. From these measurements the critical micelle concentration (cmc), the molecular area in saturated adsorption, the standard chemical potential of adsorption from the infinitely dilute solution to the saturated adsorption surface, and the standard chemical potential of micellization were obtained for each lipid. Further, the measurements of the free energy of formation of black film, the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy in the non-polar region of black film and the rate of growth of black film were performed separately for single foam films of the above lipids, together with the measurement of foam stability. By comparing these surface chemical properties among the respective lysophospholipids, the difference in foam stability between lysoPC and lysoPE is discussed in terms of these static and dynamic properties of solution surfaces and single foam films.
