Role of various LB parameters on the optical characteristics of mixed Langmuir–Blodgett films
This communication reports the spectroscopic characterizations of mixed Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of non-amphiphilic N,N-bis (2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)3,4,9-perylenedicarboximide (DBPI) molecules, mixed with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and stearic acid (SA). Jaggregates of DBPI molecules in the mixed LB films have been confirmed by UV–Vis absorption spectroscopic study. Formation of organi...

This communication reports the surface pressure (pi) versus area per molecule (A) isotherm characteristics of the mixed films of 9-phenyl anthracene (PA) in stearic acid (SA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrices, at the air-water interface. The mixed Langmuir films at the air-water interface have been observed to be easily transferred onto solid substrates to form uniform Langmuir-Blodge...

The effect of electron irradiation on the ferroelectric properties ofLangmuir-Blodgett films of the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) isinvestigated using 1.26 MeV electrons with dosages from 16 to 110 Mrad. Films wereirradiated in the ferroelectric state to investigate the effect of defect introduction inultrathin films. Electron irradiation is known to ...
متن کاملLangmuir Blodgett films of arachidic acid and N4 molecules: characterization and use in homeotropic alignment of N4
We study the behavior of a mixed Langmuir monolayer consisting of a fatty acid and a nematic liquid crystal. We demonstrate that the mixed monolayer successfully transfers as a Langmuir-Blodgett film and characterize the transferred film using UV spectroscopy. An important application of Langmuir-Blodgett films is in the alignment of liquid crystals for electro-optical applications, such as dis...
متن کاملLangmuir-Blodgett Thin Films of Fe20Pt80 Nanoparticles for the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Formic Acid
The electro-oxidation of formic acid catalyzed by Fe20Pt80 nanoparticles was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) where the particles were deposited onto a gold electrode surface by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique at varied film thickness/coverage. It was found that the particle assembly thickness strongly affected the electrocatalytic activit...
