摘要
Lipid, a major membrane-constituent molecule, being amphiphilic in nature, can adopt different aggregated structures in the presence of different agents. Using polarized light microscopy, we report here our study on how the incorporation of n-decane in the dipalmitoyl lecithin-water system can produce a change from lamellar to nonlamellar phase and affect the different phase transition temperatures as well.
