Different LB films of poly(octadecene-co-maleic anhydride), PMAO, poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) partial 2 butoxy ethyl ester cumene terminated, PS-MA-BEE, and Gemini surfactant ethyl-bis(dimethyl octadecylammonium bromide), 18-2-18, have been used to study the effect of the substrate coating on the surface self-assembly of CdSe quantum dots (QDs). Results show that all the “coating molecules” avoid the 3D aggregation of QDs observed when these nanoparticles are directly deposited on mica. Different morphologies were observed depending on the molecules used as coatings, and this was related to the surface properties, such as wetting ability, and the morphology of the coating LB films.

Negatively charged metal nanoparticles assemble as chain networks through Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics on a Langmuir film of positively charged amphiphiles. The extension of the networks captured in Langmuir–Blodgett films is tuned by the deposition pressure.

ABSTRACTThe fabrication, structure and electrical properties of new electrically conductive Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of polyaniline and polypyrrole have been investigated. Polyaniline in its emeraldine-base form was mixed with stearic acid (PAN-B/SA) to produce stable films at the air-water interface (5/1 or 10/1 mole ratio of PAN-B/SA). These films were then transferred into multilayer films which were found to exhibit conductivities of about 1 S/cm upon doping with hydrochloric acid. The alkyl chains of the stearic acid molecules were found to be distributed randomly throughout the LB film thereby exerting a minimal influence on the electrical properties of the polyaniline phase. In addition to this mixed monolayer approach, a novel method of fabricating highly conductive polypyrrole LB films has been developed. This method is based on the sequential exposure of ferric stéarate LB films to hydrogen chloride (HC1) gas and pyrrole vapor. Each of these two solid state reactions was found to impart dramatic chemical and structural changes to the film. Polypyrrole LB films with conductivities as high as 5 S/cm were produced via this process. The electrical and optical properties of films made by both techniques were examined in order to elucidate their structure/property relationships.

The ferroelectric nanocrystals of the copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) were grown from ultrathin Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on Si substrate. The annealing of ultrathin LB films with thickness of 3 monolayers (5 nm) in air in paraelectric phase at temperature 125∘C was performed. The self-assembly leads to the growth of nanocrystals of ferroelectric copolymer 15–25 nm thick and 100–200 nm in diameter. The nanocrystals presumably belong to orthorhombic space group, where axis 2 is the direction of spontaneous polarization (and normal to substrate). By means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), the kinetics of ferroelectric nanocrystals growth and their switching were investigated. The obtained results confirm the conclusions that copolymer nanocrystals are candidates for high-density nonvolatile storage media devices.

The molecular organization of the phospholipids Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on solid substrates has been studied via Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy. In this study, the formation of well organized ultra thin LB films of phospholipid molecules has been performed by depositing the monolayer onto the solid substrates of silicon wafer. The space filling molecular models of two types of phospholipids have been proposed on the basis of the FTIR spectra.

ABSTRACTIn performing compression-expansion-recompression process during preparation of diacetylene (DA) monolayer, the change in colour of polydiacetylene (PDA) LB films was observed and more ordered structure of the films was achieved. The effect on optical properties could be ascribed to better arrangement of DA monomer which favoured the formation of PDA films in blue-form in polymerization.
