Molecular Structure and Monolayer Properties

  • Chapter
Langmuir-Blodgett Films

Abstract

There is something about the unique combination of properties of a water surface that makes water by far the most favored subphase for Langmuir film formation. This chapter will be concerned with the nature of the interactions between a water surface (more properly an air-water interface) and an insoluble monolayer. The chemical features of molecules that form stable monolayers will be illustrated, together with the factors that lead to their successful deposition onto substrates as solid multilayers. There has been much recent interest in the study of polymerizable monolayers and an extension of the earlier work on monolayers of preformed polymers. As polymers have especial importance in connection with potential applications, they are dealt with in a separate section. The systematic chemical names of many of the materials discussed in this chapter are long and complex. No attempt has therefore been made to make consistent use of formal nomenclature; common names and abbreviations are used in the text and alternatives are sometimes given in the captions to the figures.
