Lamellar organic thin films through self-assembly and molecular recognition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular clips possessing U-shaped cavities have been functionalized on their convex side with long aliphatic tails. These molecules form dimers which self-assemble into malleable lamellar thin films. Upon addition of a guest (methyl 3,5-dihydroxybenzoate), a 1:1 host-guest complex is formed, which prohibits clip dimerization. As a result, the lamellar structure of the material is lost. Complexation of 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid in the clip results in host-guest complexes which dimerize by hydrogen bonding interactions between the carboxylic acid functions of the bound guests. This dimerization restores the lamellar type architecture of the material.

Phase-field modeling of the formation of lamellar nanostructures in diblock copolymer thin films under inplanar electric fields.
Recent experiments show that external inplanar electric field can be employed to guide the molecular self-assembly in diblock copolymer (BCP) thin films to form lamellar nanostructures with potential applications in nanotechnology. We study this self-assembly process through a detailed coarse-grained phase-separation modeling. During the process, the free energy of the BCP films is modeled as t...

The present study attempts to incorporate methacrylate-based polymers into ordered lamellar organic/inorganic nanocomposite films composed of alternating SiO2/polymer layers. The films are prepared by dip-coating from a solution containing the monomers and silica precursors, thus leading to composite lamellar mesostructured materials through evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). A polymeriz...
متن کاملVapor phase self-assembly of molecular gate dielectrics for thin film transistors.
Organic-inorganic films grown entirely via a vapor-phase deposition process and composed of highly polarizable molecular structures are investigated as gate dielectrics in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Molecules 1 and 2 form self-ordered thin films via hydrogen bonding, and these organic-inorganic structures exhibit large capacitances and large pentacene OFET mobilities.
متن کاملIn situ fluorescence probing of the chemical and structural changes during formation of hexagonal phase cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and lamellar phase CTAB/ Poly(dodecylmethacrylate) sol–gel silica thin films
Surfactant-templated mesostructured sol–gel films formed by evaporation induced self assembly (EISA) exhibit highly-ordered hexagonal, lamellar, and cubic structures. The steady-state dip-coating configuration allows both the chemistry and the dynamics of the EISA process to be traced in real time because the steps involved in the formation of the mesostructured material are separated both spat...
