Containing pyrene-labeled probes

Fluorescence Of Monolayers Containing Pyrene-Labeled Probes. A fluorescence probe method was also used as a complementary technique to study the thermodynamics of SA film formation. Mixed monolayers containing the fluorescence probe pyrene hexadecanoic acid, Py-C16, in host fatty acids of different lengths were prepared by adsoiption from solutions containing mostly the host fatty acid and a small fraction of Py-C16 (approximately 1 to 5 mol %). All monolayers were prepared under equilibrium adsoiption conditions. For fluorescence measurements only A1 substrate was used because when glass is used an impurity fluorescence from glass interferes with the pyrene fluorescence.

Fluorescence probe and fluorescent label are two approaches that are generally applied to the study of surfactant-containing systems, yielding information on the properties of the micro-domain, such as the mean aggregation number and the mobility or fluidity of the aggregates. Pyrene is one of the popular...
