Thermodynamic and structural characterization of a mixed perfluorocarbon-phospholipid ternary monolayer surfactant system

► Ternary phospholipid-perfluorcarbon mixed monolayers are fully miscible. ► Head group interactions between DPPC and perfluorocarbon enhance film stability. ► Langmuir-Blodgett films contain multilayer aggregates enriched in phospholipid.
