We report an investigation of the boundary flow of water on DPPC
monolayers and bilayers deposited on Pyrex surfaces, using a
dynamic surface force apparatus. We find that a no-slip boundary
condition is verified at the water/bilayer interface within 
.
In contrast, the interfacial flow properties on monolayers evolve
with the time of exposure to water. A significant slip of 
is
found on fresh monolayers, which are strongly hydrophobic. The
hydrodynamic interaction force with a nearby surface is then
significantly reduced over hundreds of nanometers. This slip
effect disappears after one day of exposure to water, due to the
increased hydrophilicity and roughness of hydrated monolayers.
