We describe the formation of lateral 2D-3D patterns in mixed multilayer LB films of stearic acid (SA) and octadecylamine (ODA) deposited from aqueous subphases at a basic pH. The 3D particles of SA constituting the micrometer-scale linear assemblies in the LB film are assumed to segregate at the three-phase contact line in the course of film deposition. This 2D-3D phase separation of the two-component system presumably originates from the substrate-induced lowering of the collapse point of SA that leads to spontaneous 3D condensation of an acid on a solid support.
