The re-sults indicate that a five-laminae model corresponds to this inverted bilayer and divides it into five regions. The thick-nesses of the aliphatic chain regions, the polar head-group regions, and the central aqueous core are 0.90, 1.35 and 1.31 nm, respectively; and their corresponding electron densities are 2.4 10-3, 2.6 10-3 and 2.310-3 electron/nm3, respec-tively; the interfacial roughness between adjacent regions is 0.34 nm. The central core of this foam film does not contain free water, its thickness decreased 0.40 nm under the irra-diation of infrared rays due to the loss of structural water.展开更多
