I once posted to find out what would be a good model of a lung surfactant.
I received a lot of really helpful responses, and since then I realize
that I must only mimmick the surface quality of the lung surft., most
importantly, the time it takes to recover from a disturbance of the surface.
I guess I would need something of high molecular weight, and large colloid 
size. If someone could suggest a surfactant for this, I know that a complete
model of a lung surft. is complicated but a ball-park version of one 
(trade name, and chem. company  if known), would be all I need. If 
anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again,
