Electron transfer studies on cholesterol LB films assembled on thiophenol and 2-naphthalenethiol self-assembled monolayers

We have formed the cholesterol monolayer and multilayer LB films on the self-assembled monolayers of 2-naphthalenethiol (2-NT) and thiophenol (TP) and studied the electrochemical barrier properties of these composite films using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. We have also characterized the cholesterol monolayer film using grazing angle FTIR, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cholesterol has a long hydrophobic steroid chain, which makes it a suitable candidate to assemble on the hydrophobic surfaces. We find that the highly hydrophobic surface formed by the self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of 2-NT and TP act as effective platforms for the fabrication of cholesterol monolayer and multilayer films. The STM studies show that the cholesterol monolayer films on 2-NT form striped patterns with a separation of 1.0 nm between them. The area per cholesterol molecule is observed to be 0.64 nm2 with a tilt angle of about 28.96 degrees from the surface normal. The electrochemical studies show a large increase in charge transfer resistance and lowering of interfacial capacitance due to the formation of the LB film of cholesterol. We have compared the behavior of this system with that of cholesterol monolayer and multilayers formed on the self-assembled monolayer of thiophenol.     

Imaging of micropatterned self-assembled monolayers with adsorbed liquid crystals

We report a novel method of imaging micropatterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using adsorbed films of thermotropic (smectic or nematic) mesophase which can then be studied by optical microscopy. Three alkylthiols, functionalized with CH3, OH and COOH groups, were used in various combinations to form patterned SAMs. Two alkylcyanobiphenyls (7CB and 9CB) were used as the liquid crystal imaging reagents. The images are formed by the contrast generated by the different alignments of adsorbed smectic or nematic films induced by different regions of the pattern. The spatial resolution is at least to 4 μm.     

Pattern Formation in Thin Polymer Films Containing Conducting Polyaniline

Summary: In the present work knowledge the authors tried to direct the phase separation process in a thin polymer composite film to manufacture a polymer pattern via self organisation of the blend components. The Au substrate was modified by applying with a PDMS stamp a pattern of alternating stripes of a self-assembled monolayer. This in turn influenced the microstructure of the blend, allowing for the production of elongated domains repeating the pattern of the substrate. The blends studied in this work contained conducting polyaniline doped with camphorsulfonic acid or diphenyl phosphate and polystyrene. The role of the dopant was to induce electrical conductivity in polyaniline as well as to improve its solubility in common organic solvents. The microstructure of thin films was analysed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy (dSIMS) and optical microscopy.

Self-organization of a wedge-shaped surfactant in monolayers and multilayers

The self-organization behavior of a wedge-shaped surfactant, disodium-3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)phenylmethylphosphonate, was studied in Langmuir monolayers (at the air-water interface), Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers and multilayers, and films adsorbed spontaneously from isooctane solution onto a mica substrate (self-assembled films). This compound forms an inverted hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal phase in the bulk and in thick adsorbed films. Surface pressure isotherm and Brewster angle microscope (BAM) studies of Langmuir monolayers revealed three phases: gas (G), liquid expanded (LE), and liquid condensed (LC). The surface pressure-temperature phase diagram was determined in detail; a triple point was found at approximately 10 degrees C. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images of LB monolayers transferred from various regions of the phase diagram were consistent with the BAM images and indicated that the LE regions are approximately 0.5 nm thinner than the LC regions. AFM images were also obtained of self-assembled films after various adsorption times. For short adsorption times, when monolayer self-assembly was incomplete, the film topography indicated the coexistence of two distinct monolayer phases. The height difference between these two phases was again 0.5 nm, suggesting a correspondence with the LE/LC coexistence observed in the Langmuir monolayers. For longer immersion times, adsorbed multilayers assembled into highly organized periodic arrays of inverse cylindrical micelles. Similar periodic structures, with the same repeat distance of 4.5 nm, were also observed in three-layer LB films. However, the regions of organized periodic structure were much smaller and more poorly correlated in the LB multilayers than in the films adsorbed from solution. Collectively, these observations indicate a high degree of similarity between the molecular organization in Langmuir layers/LB films and adsorbed self-assembled films. In both cases, monolayers progress through an LE phase, into LE/LC coexistence, and finally into LC phase as surface density increases. Following the deposition of an additional bilayer, the film reorganizes to form an array of inverted cylindrical micelles.     

Surface hydration and its effect on fluorinated SAM formation on SiO2 surfaces

Substrate hydration is demonstrated to be crucial to film quality during self-assembled (SA) film deposition of tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2,-tetrahydrooctyltrichlorosilane (FOTS) from the vapor phase. The surface hydration was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, and a model was developed to predict the conditions necessary to desorb all of the water adsorbed on a fused silica surface without significantly altering the concentration of the surface hydroxyl groups. The nature of the SA film was investigated as a function of the degree of rehydration of the dehydrated silica surface. The wettability and microstructure of the SA films were examined by water contact angle, ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. There is an optimum degree of substrate hydration, on the order of 1-1.2 monolayers of adsorbed water, required to produce a dense, durable and uniform FOTS film with high water repellency and a smooth surface.     

Substrate-induced modulation of the Raman scattering signals from self-assembled organic nanometric films

Raman scattering signals recorded by microscopy from organic self-assembled monolayers (thin nanometric films of calibrated thickness) on silica substrates were found to be much stronger than those obtained from identical films assembled on bulk silicon substrates. This effect, observed in the backscattering geometry, is shown to result from interferences between the direct and reflected beams (including both the excitation and scattered radiation) in front of a smooth reflecting surface. Strong dependence of the effect on the distance between the sampled monolayer and the bulk silicon substrate allows enhancement of the Raman signals of organic monolayer films on silicon by factors up to approximately 70 by using appropriate silica spacers. The dependence of the Raman signal intensity on film thickness was also studied for thicker nanometric films comprising a series of self-assembled organosilane multilayers on bulk silicon and fused silica substrates, and the predicted deviation from linearity in the case of the silicon substrate is experimentally confirmed.
