A series of synthetic ceramides have been studied at the air-water interface b~: recording the surface pressure-area isotherms at continuous compression. Ceramides that contain a 4,5-trans-double bond in the long chain base were found to condense into a close-packed arrangement with vertical chains
The conformation and molecular packing of a ceramide, N-(2D,3n-dihydroxyoctadecanoyl)-phytosphingosine, has been determined by single crystal analysis (R = 0.095). The lipid crystallizes in the space group P21 with unit cell dimensions a = 7.23, b = 7.39, c = 35.80 A. and fl = 92.9 °. The two molecu
The thermal hehaviour and nansport properties of a therrnotropic semiflexible polyester have heen analysed. The system is polymorphic and the transport properties indicate, rather surprisingly, that the sorption coefficient increases on improving the structural organization of the polymer. A structu
