RET in two dimensions has been studied in monolayers, Langmuir-Blodgett films and phospholipid bilayers of vesides. In particular, RET provides a very useful tool for the investigation of biological membranes, as exemplified in Box 9.2.

In this work we utilized FTIR methods to examine the SA monolayers on flat, polar solid surfaces prepared from nonpolar solutions. We used ATR and GI FTIR measurements to characterize the material and bonding of the S A monolayers, and used transmission and ATR FTIR to monitor the dynamics of the SA adsorption process. With reference to measurements on standard Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer samples, we were able to quantify the S A kinetic results. We also used fluorescence spectroscopy of incorporated pyrene probes in S A mixed monolayer films as a simple method for the determination of the relative adsorption and thermodynamic constants.
