A stripe-to-droplet transition driven by conformational transitions in a binary lipid-lipopolymer mixture at the air-water interface

We report the observation of an unusual stripe-droplet transition in precompressed Langmuir monolayers consisting of mixtures of poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) amphiphiles and phospholipids. This highly reproducible and fully reversible transition occurs at approximately zero surface pressure during ex...
