1. Heterostructured Langmuir-Blodgett Films of Ruthenium Bipyridine with 1,3,4-Naphthooxadiazole-Derived Amphiphile Complex as a Charge Storage Electrode
The molecular control in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films may be exploited in charge storage electrodes provided a suitable choice of molecular architecture and components is made. In this paper, we employed a naphtyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole amphiphile (NFT1) and its complex [Ru(bpy)2NFT1]PF6 (RuNFT1) (bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine) in heterostructured LB films in a proof-of

2. Dynamics of Drop Impact Against Surfaces Covered with Langmuir-Blodgett Layers
The dynamics of sucessive impacts of water droplets against flat glass surfaces covered by Langmuir-Blodgett films of zinc stearate with 1, 3, 5 and 7 layers was investigated. The structure and resistance of monolayers to the impact was evaluated by using fast images of the drop deformation, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and contact angle measurements. Eve

3. Estudo da inversão de carga em filmes de Langmuir / Study of the charge inversion in Langmuir films.
The study of charged interfaces is important for understanding several phenomena in polymer and colloid science, as well as in molecular biology. Even though this topic has benn extensively investigated, there are many open issues, such as details of ion-ion interactions. In this context, this work investigates charge inversion in Langmuir films of DMPA (dim

4. Estudo da orientação molecular em filmes automontados de azopolímeros por meio da técnica de geração de segundo harmônico (SHG) / Molecular orientation in self-assembled azo-polymer thin films studied by second harmonic generation (SHG).
Ultrathin films of polymers containing azochromophores are important for many applications such as optical data storage, formation of surface relief gratings, liquid crystal alignment layers and non-linear optical devices. Among several techniques for fabricating organic thin films, the Layer-By-Layer electrostatic self-assembly (LBL) is very attractive due

5. Interaction between cholesterol and chitosan in Langmuir monolayers
Chitosan incorporated in the aqueous subphase is found to affect the Langmuir monolayers of cholesterol, causing the surface pressure and the surface potential isotherms to become more expanded. The mean molecular area per cholesterol molecule in the condensed monolayer increases from 53 Ų in the absence of chitosan to 61 Ų for a concentration of 0.100

6. Water at interfaces and its influence on the electrical properties of adsorbed films
This paper discusses water at interfaces with emphasis on the electrical properties of adsorbed films. Two issues are addressed, namely adsorption of organic molecules at the air/water interface in Langmuir monolayers and the influence of adsorbed water on the electrical properties of nanostructured organic films deposited onto solid substrates. In Langmuir

7. Filmes de Langmuir e vesículas multilamelares de fosfolipídios e suas interações com um peptídeo oriundo da proteína p24 do HIV-1 / Langmuir films and multilamellar vesicles of phospholipids and its interactions with peptide from p24 protein from HIV-1
The investigation of the interaction mechanisms between the viruses and the host cells brings relevant information for the identification of targets on the development of drugs to prevent the penetration and/or development of the viruses. Peptides designed from viral proteins have been developed and tested on its capacities of inhibiting the merging process

8. Fluorescence, polarized fluorescence, and Brewster angle microscopy of palmitic acid and lung surfactant protein B monolayers.
Fluorescence, polarized fluorescence, and Brewster angle microscopy reveal that human lung surfactant protein SP-B and its amino terminus (SP-B[1-25]) alter the phase behavior of palmitic acid monolayers by inhibiting the formation of condensed phases and creating a new fluid protein-rich phase. This fluid phase forms a network that separates condensed phase

9. Lateral phase separation in interfacial films of pulmonary surfactant.
To determine if lateral phase separation occurs in films of pulmonary surfactant, we used epifluorescence microscopy and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) to study spread films of calf lung surfactant extract (CLSE). Both microscopic methods demonstrated that compression produced domains of liquid-condensed lipids surrounded by a liquid-expanded film. The temp
