The dynamic process ofthe formation of the BSFs was examined by electronic absorption and FT-IR spectroscopies.The thickness of the aqueous core of the BSF was found to decrease with the increase of MOconcentration, altering from common BSFs to Newton ones. The spectral features of CH_2stretching vibrations of methylene chain and the π--π~* absorption of MO show that boththe CTAB and MO molecules are in oriented liquid crystalline state in the two types of theBSFs. Theoretical consideration of Raman scattering activity has been made of uniaxiallyoriented molecules. From the polarized resonance Raman measurements of the BSFs, it wasknown that the long axes of the MO molecules were tilted with a large angle of about 80°with the surface normal in the two types of the BSFs.展开更多
Recently, the structure of the black soap film(BSF)has been found to be similar to biomembrane, and therefore has been used as a model to study the functions, properties and structures of the biomembrane.

It has been revealed that BY bound to the sandwich interface of the BSF and that to the micellar interface show similar spectral changes, but the former owns the character of coexistence of acidic and basic structures in a relatively large range of pH values (neutral to basic). Further investigations have demonstrated that BSF exhibits the buffer effect that the pH value of the aqueous core is insensitive to the pH change of the bulk solution.展开更多
