Abstract

Artificial membranes possessing physicochemical properties similar to biological membranes have been synthesized by immobilization of synthetic amphiphiles in layered ceramics. The intercalated bilayer-forming amphiphiles exhibit a gallery height of about 39 Å. Retention of bilayer-forming characteristics is further confirmed by the presence of a crystal to liquid-crystal phase transition. A dramatic increase in the membrane capacitance at the tansition temperature is attributed to an increase in membrane fluidity.
