Three experimental techniques are used: (a) surface tension vs. molecular area isotherms, to access thermodynamics; (b) Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), to image phase separation in the monolayer; and (c) light scattering microscopy (LSM), which is particularly sensitive to collapse of the monolayer into the third dimension. We will use the combination of techniques to probe the region of stability of these layers. We will apply the same techniques to triolein, a three-chained fatty acid important in the storage of fat within lipid droplets. 2015-07-22 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1436273087 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1436273087 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
