Résumé

We show that water-soluble monosodic salts of F-alkyl phosphates C(n)F(2n+1) (CH2)2OP(O)(OH)2, with n=8 and 10 (F8H2Phos and F10H2Phos) form Gibbs films with exceptionally high dilational viscoelastic modules E that reach ~900 mN m(-1) in the condensed phases. These E values are up to one order of magnitude larger than those recorded for phospholipid, protein and polymer films commonly considered as highly viscoelastic. F8H2Phos.1Na undergoes a transition between a liquid-expanded and a liquid-condensed phase. In the case of F10H2Phos.1Na, a transition occurs between a gas phase of surface domains, in which the molecules are densely packed, and a liquid-condensed phase.
