Amphiphilic zwitterionic brush random copolymers bearing sulfobetaine groups at the bristle ends underwent segregation at the air–water interface, always forming only the Langmuir monolayer structure rather than any other structures.

Mesoscopic silica is synthesized by using a self-assembling organic species to direct the structure of an inorganic matrix. It has attracted much interest because of its potential for use in a wide variety of catalysis, separations and nanotechnology applications. The commercial success of this material depends on the ability to simultaneously tailor the channel size and organization. A more complete understanding of the mechanism by which the material forms should lead to improved control over the structure. Small angle X-ray diffraction studies have shown that there is an “induction period” which precedes the observation of well-packed channels in films grown at the air-water interface. However, scattering data alone are unable to establish how the development of order might occur. Direct observation of the evolution is necessary to determine the mechanism by which well-packed, nanometer-sized channels form.Continuous mesoporous silica thin films were grown at the air-water interface.

The structure of the air-water interface forms a boundary layer that involves biological ,chemical geological and physical processes in its formation. Freshwater and sea surface microlayers form at the air-water interface and include a diverse assemblage of organic matter, detritus, microorganisms, plankton and heavy metals. The sampling of microlayers and the examination of components is presently a significant area of study because of the input of anthropogenic materials and their accumulation at the air-water interface. The neustonic organisms present in this environment may be sensitive to the toxic components of these inputs. Hardy reports that over 20 different methods have been developed for sampling of microlayers, primarily for bulk chemical analysis. We report here the examination of microlayer films for the documentation of structure and composition.Baier and Gucinski reported the use of Langmuir-Blogett films obtained on germanium prisms for infrared spectroscopic analysis (IR-ATR) of components. The sampling of microlayers has been done by collecting fi1ms on glass plates and teflon drums, We found that microlayers could be collected on 11 mm glass cover slips by pulling a Langmuir-Blogett film from a surface microlayer. Comparative collections were made on methylcel1ulose filter pads. The films could be air-dried or preserved in Lugol's Iodine Several slicks or surface films were sampled in September, 1987 in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland and in August, 1988 in Sequim Bay, Washington, For glass coverslips the films were air-dried, mounted on SEM pegs, ringed with colloidal silver, and sputter coated with Au-Pd, The Langmuir-Blogett film technique maintained the structure of the microlayer intact for examination, SEM observation and EDS analysis were then used to determine organisms and relative concentrations of heavy metals, using a Link AN 10000 EDS system with an ISI SS40 SEM unit. Typical heavy microlayer films are shown in Figure 3.
