Interfacial Interactions and Nanostructure Changes in DPPG/HD Monolayer at the Air/Water Interface

Lung surfactant (LS) plays a crucial role in regulating surface tension during normal respiration cycles by decreasing the work associated with lung expansion and therefore decreases the metabolic energy consumed. Monolayer surfactant films composed of a mixture of phospholipids and spreading additi...
