چکیده
End-functionalized poly(3-butylthiophene) with a thiol group (P3BT-S) was synthesized and used to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). It can induce the end-on orientation in the thin film which has the potential to further enhance hole mobility up to 1.1 × 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in the vertical direction.

Nanostructured Single Crystals Sandwiched between Ordered/Disordered Coily and Rod Brushes
Single crystals of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-polystyrene (PS), PEG-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PEG-b-polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyaniline (PANI)-b-PEG-b-PANI were developed from dilute solutions and thin molten films using self-seeding methodology. The PS and PMMA grafted chains were categorized in disordered nano-brushes; however, the PCL and PANI ones were grouped in ordere...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers of polythiophene conductive polymers improve biocompatibility and electrical impedance of neural electrodes.
There is continued interest in the development of conductive polymer coatings to improve the electrical properties and biocompatibility of electrodes for neural prostheses. We present here a new type of coating, based on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiolated poly(alkylthiophene)s and functionalized alkanethiols. When assembled as a SAM on electrodes designed for in vitro electroph...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers induced inter-conversion of crystal structure by vertical to lateral growth of aluminium doped zinc oxide thin films.
In this communication, we demonstrate the inter-conversion of crystal structure of aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films from highly (002) plane oriented vertical growth to (103) plane oriented lateral growth by adjusting the polarity of the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass substrates at room temperature.
متن کاملAu Nanoparticle Sub-Monolayers Sandwiched between Sol-Gel Oxide Thin Films
Sub-monolayers of monodisperse Au colloids with different surface coverage have been embedded in between two different metal oxide thin films, combining sol-gel depositions and proper substrates functionalization processes. The synthetized films were TiO₂, ZnO, and NiO. X-ray diffraction shows the crystallinity of all the oxides and verifies the nominal surface coverage of Au colloids. The surf...

Thin films of 1,3-diethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene (BIEt) were fabricated from THF solution on solid gold substrates and characterised by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The surface-analytical data are in accord with the formation of self-assembled monolayers of BIEt molecules exhibiting an approximately vertical orientation on the su...
