Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how a permeation enhancer, 4-decyl oxazolidin-2-one, affects the properties of phospholipid black foam films using surface tension measurements, X-ray reflectivity, and the "diminishing bubble" method.
  • Researchers created films with a phospholipid mixture to simulate the enhancer's effects in a membrane cell and examined these films at various concentrations of 4-decyl oxazolidin-2-one.
  • The stability and thickness of the resulting black films were analyzed, along with how the gas permeability changed with different levels of the permeation enhancer.

Recently, new cyclodextrin derivatives were synthesized and shown to exhibit strong amphiphilic properties. In this paper, we study the action of these new amphiphilic cyclodextrins on phospholipids. Mixed phospholipid/cyclodextrin derivative films were prepared and studied using X-ray reflectivity for various phospholipid/cyclodextrin ratios.
