Abstract
⺠A new lipid molecule was designed to mimic the selected properties of the lung surfactant. ⺠The molecule bears a cationic head group and a fluorocarbon chain in its structure. ⺠It interacts with lipids to adjust the interfacial fluidity, elasticity and the hysteresis. ⺠Mimicing the lung surfactant behaviour associated with specific lung surfactant protein C is achieved.
