Abstract
Bilayer membranes are formed spontaneously from single-chain, double-chain, and triple-chain amphiphiles which possess fluorocarbon tails. Their aggregation behavior is similar to those of the corresponding hydrocarbon amphiphiles. However, the bilayer characteristics are quite different between the two classes. Flurocarbon bilayers display limited miscibilities with hydrocarbon bilayers, and enhanced barrier capacities against permeation of ions and molecules. Membrane-bound fluorocarbon species show peculiar reactivities.
