Abstract
The molecular organization of the phospholipids Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on solid
substrates has been studied via Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy. In this study, the
formation of well organized ultra thin LB films of phospholipid molecules has been performed by
depositing the monolayer onto the solid substrates of silicon wafer. The space filling molecular
models of two types of phospholipids have been proposed on the basis of the FTIR spectra.
