Characterization of superhydrophilic thin films fabricated by a layer-bylayer self-assembly method

Multilayer nanostructural thin films through a layer-by-layer spin self-assembly method were prepared using poly(p-phenylene vinylene)/montmorillonite. Sodium montmorillonite particles exfoliated into single sheets and cationic PPV precursor and such anionic MMT plates were spin self-assembled by electrostatic attraction. Self-assembled MMT layers blocked the penetration of oxygen and moisture and they reduced the photo-oxidation of the emitting material. Spin self-assembled films showed higher environmental stability and luminescence, and their PL spectra were somewhat different from that of bulk PPV films.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes were synthesized separately using amino acetic acid (AA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), oxalic acid (OA) as dopant and ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant by a self-assembly method. SEM, TEM,FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and applying the 4 probes method characterized the morphology, structure and property of the product. It was found that nanotubes morphology were synthesized when the [Aci/[A ratio is 1:2.The room template conductivity of the products were studied.

AbstractIn acidic media, poly(styrene-methacrylic acid)/MCM-41 [P(St- MAA)/MCM-41] core/shell microspheres were synthesized using monodisperse P(St-MAA) particles contained in soap-free emulsion and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as co-templates by adsorption self-assembly method. The effects of P(St- MAA) composition on shell structure of the core/shell microspheres were investigated. The morphology and composition of P(St-MAA)/MCM-41 microspheres were characterized by TEM, XRD and FTIR. The results show that the ordering degree of MCM-41 shells increased as the molar ratio of MAA to St increased. When n(MAA)/n(St) is 0.2, the average diameter and the shell thickness of nanocomposite microspheres are about 170 nm and 20 nm, respectively.
