Popis:	Experimental and theoretical evidence is presented which shows that orientational ordering of highly polar head groups in monolayers of amphiphilic molecules (zwitterionic 2 amino-tetradecanoic acid) at fluid interfaces produces a smooth continuous phase transition. Hence this supports the view that models which interpret the sharp ‘kink’ point phase transitions exhibited by phospholipid monolayers at oil/water interfaces as being purely due to reorientation are deficient in important respects and suggests that the model which is most likely to be applicable to lipids of biological interest at oil/water interfaces is a blend of chain melting and collective molecular orientational ordering.
