The monolayer behavior of long-chain fatty acids at the air/water interface on a poly(ethyleneimine) containing subphase was investigated. The interaction of the polymeric gegenions in the subphase leads to expanded states and permits the visualization of the aggregation behavior of different long-chain fatty acids via fluorescence microscopy. The monolayer morphologies and their variability were intensively studied by fluorescence microscopy. In addition, the transfer of the complexed fatty acid monolayers to solid substrates has been investigated.
