Reversible aggregation of X-Shaped bolaamphiphiles with partially fluorinated lateral chains at the air/water interface

Abstract

Langmuir films of four X-shaped bolaamphiphiles were studied using surface pressure and Kelvin potential measurements, Brewster angle microscopy and X-ray reflectivity. The partially fluorinated bolaamphiphiles exhibit an unusual reversibility and reproducibility of Langmuir isotherms, and create very stable and well defined single- or triple layers which can be transferred to solid substrates.
