• potential applications there exists the interesting possibility to govern this process either by lateral compression-expansion of the film [105] or by a change of the spreading parameter by admixing of an organic solvent [113]. The character of rod-to-globule transition depends on the length of the side

• measurements were made in air at 20–25% humidity. An environmental chamber of the microscope was used for studies in humid air (2% < RH < 95%, as measured by a humidity meter) and also for experiments in organic solvent vapors. One or two milliliters of water, methanol or toluene was injected into the

Tensides such as oleic acid, oleylamine, TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphine oxide), dendrimers or proteins are dissolved in airless conditions in an organic solvent and subsequently heated to reflux. By adding different organ metal compounds such as metal acetyl acetate [M(acac)n] or metal carbonyls
