Effect of the Incorporation of Nanosized Titanium Dioxide on the Interfacial Properties of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine Langmuir Monolayers.
Langmuir : the ACS Journal of Surfaces and Colloids 2017 October 11
The effect of the incorporation of hydrophilic titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanoparticles on the interfacial properties of Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) has been evaluated combining interfacial thermodynamic studies, dilatational rheology, and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). The results show that the TiO2 nanoparticles are able to penetrate DPPC layers, modifying the organization of the molecules and, consequently, the phase behavior and viscoelastic properties of the systems. Measurements of dilational viscoelasticity against the frequency have been performed, using the oscillatory barrier method, at different values of the surface pressure corresponding to different degrees of compression of the monolayer. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles also affects the dynamic response of the monolayer modifying both the quasi-equilibrium dilatational elasticity and the high frequency limit of the viscoelastic modulus. The principal aim of this work is to understand the fundamental physicochemical bases related to the incorporation of specific nanoparticles of technological interest into the interfacial layer with biological relevance such as phospholipid layers. This can provide information on potential adverse effects of nanoparticles for health and the environment.
