Polymeric Monolayers and Liposomes as Models for Biomembranes and Cells

Conventional model membrane systems based on natural lipids usually lack long term stability. Polymer chemistry can help to overcome this disadvantage introducing poly­merizable lipids into these systems. Polymerizable lipids used are diacetylenes, butadienes, acrylates or lipids which can undergo polycondensation.
