Mineralization mediated by Langmuir monolayers composed of lipids extracted from MVs. (a) PM-IRRAS spectra in the region between 1150–950 cm−1 for the monolayer formed by the lipid extract of MVs, in subphase composed of the m-SCL mineralizing buffer (pH 7.4), at 25°C and π = 30 mN/m. Spectra were obtained at different time intervals for a period of 240 min. Blue boxes in the spectra highlight the region between 1045–1010 cm−1 assigned to the absorption bands of evolving inorganic phosphate group. (b) TEM images for the monolayer formed by the lipid extract of MVs transferred after 4 hours of mineralization at 25°C.
