Self-assembly of artificial biological membranes on solid substrates has gained importance due to the potential applications in the field of BioNanotechnology. Particularly important are phospholipidic membranes, e.g. DPPC, which interact with proteins that regulate the flow of ions across the membrane. In a previous work we have shown that DPPC forms a bilayer on silicon, which can serve for biosensoric applications. We have extended this concept to other phospholipids to explore their interactions with proteins. We present a thermal and morphological study of three phospholipidic thin-films: DODAB, DSPC and DMPC. These films are fabricated by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) on silicon and analyzed with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in liquid at various temperatures. We show that these phospholipids do not decompose during PVD. Acknowledgements: MJR: Fondecyt postdoc 3160803. UGV: Fondecyt 1141105 y CONICYT-PIA ACT 1409.
