We have developed an orientation control technique for polymer molecules utilizing contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). In this technique, the molecular chains were directly modified by scanning an AFM cantilever tip in contact with the film surface at the temperature just below its melting point. We call this process “modification scan”. Here, we applied this technique to poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin films on graphite and glass. We prepared a 75-nm thick copolymer crystalline film on graphite whose lamellar plane was perpendicular to the substrate (edge-on), and also prepared a film of the same thickness on glass whose lamellar plane was parallel to the substrate (flat-on). After applying this technique on both films, molecular chains were stretched and aligned to the modification scan direction, and new edge-on crystals were obtained, whose lamellar planes were well-aligned perpendicular to the modification scan direction. 相似文献

We have prepared two types of one-dimensional ion-conductive polymer films containing ion nanochannels that are both perpendicular and parallel to the film surface. These films have been obtained by photopolymerization of aligned columnar liquid crystals of a fan-shaped imidazolium salt having acrylate groups at the periphery. In the columnar structure, the ionic part self-assembles into the inner part of the column. The column is oriented macroscopically in two directions by different methods: orientation perpendicular to the modified surfaces of glass and indium tin oxide with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and orientation parallel to a glass surface by mechanical shearing. Ionic conductivities have been measured for the films with columnar orientation vertical and parallel to the surface. Anisotropic ionic conductivities are observed for the oriented films fixed by photopolymerization. The ionic conductivities parallel to the columnar axis are higher than those perpendicular to the columnar axis because the lipophilic part functions as an ion-insulating part. The film with the columns oriented vertically to the surface shows an anisotropy of ionic conductivities higher than that of the film with the columns aligned parallel to the surface. 相似文献

Structural and optical properties of multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of two amphiphilic carbenium salts 2-didecylamino-6,10-bis(dimethylamino)-4,8,12-trioxatriangulenium hexafluorophosphate (ATOTA-1) and 2,6-bis(decylmethylamino)-10-dimethylamino-4,8,12-trioxatriangulenium hexafluorophosphate (ATOTA-2) are described. The LB films were prepared on lipophilic glass by standard vertical dipping. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements show that the planar organic cores, in spite of their positive charge, form closely packed columns with a repeating distance of ~3.45 ?. Specular X-ray reflectivity (SXR) reveals the LB multilayers to consist of Y-type bilayers with thickness 31 ? for ATOTA-1 and 41 ? for ATOTA-2. This significant difference is ascribed to the different packing motifs of the alkyl chains in the two LB films. GIXD and polarized UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy show that the columnar aggregates in the LB films are oriented along the dipping direction. This alignment is attributed to shear effects during LB transfer. The main absorption band of the LB films is blue-shifted compared to that in solution, while the fluorescence is red-shifted by more than 100 nm. These findings suggest the presence of H-aggregates in agreement with the cofacial packing derived from the X-ray measurements. Polarized absorption spectroscopy with variable angle of incidence was used to resolve two perpendicular optical transitions in the visible range, one at 460 nm polarized perpendicular to the columnar direction, in the plane of the film, and one at 420 nm polarized along the film normal. 相似文献

While forming layer-by-layer (LbL) electrostatic assembly of a magnetic organic molecule, namely, nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), we apply a magnetic field. The field orients the magnetic moment of the molecules on a monolayer along the direction of magnetic field. Such an orientation of the molecules is then electrostatically immobilized with a monolayer of a polycation. By repeating the dipping cycle, we form LbL films with planar NiPc molecules facing a particular direction. With NiPc's moment perpendicular to the molecular plane, two types of LbL films were formed: (a) NiPc's molecular plane parallel to the substrate (moment is perpendicular) and (b) molecules perpendicular to the substrate and facing one particular direction, the direction of magnetic field. Such films, with the molecules lying either (a) parallel or (b) perpendicular to the substrate, provide unique systems to study anisotropy of optical, dielectric, and electrical characteristics in these planar organic molecules. The latter film responds to the polarization of incident beam in electronic absorption spectroscopy. Here we show methods to obtain an orientation of molecules in LbL films and study anisotropy of dielectric constant and conductivity of the molecules in ultrathin films. 相似文献

用匀胶机通过溶液铸膜方法在硅片和铝箔基板上分别制备具有不同厚度的聚(ε-己内酯)(PCL)薄膜. 通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和偏光衰减全反射傅里叶红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)对薄膜中PCL的结晶形貌、 片晶生长方式及分子链取向进行了研究. AFM结果表明, 在200 nm或更厚的薄膜中, PCL主要以侧立(edge-on)片晶的方式生长; 对于厚度小于200 nm的薄膜, PCL片晶更倾向于以平躺(flat-on)的方式生长. 这种片晶生长方式的改变在硅片和铝箔基板上都表现出同样的倾向. 此外, 在15 nm或更薄的薄膜中, PCL结晶由通常的球晶结构变为树枝状晶体. 偏光ATR-FTIR结果表明, 当膜厚小于200 nm时, 薄膜结晶中PCL分子链沿垂直于基板表面方向取向, 并且膜越薄, 取向程度越高, 与AFM的观测结果一致. 相似文献

The effect of molecular weight on the molecular aggregation structure of polymers bearing a pendant perylenediimide (PDI) side chain, designated PAc12PDI, was investigated using synchrotron radiation X‐ray diffraction measurements. It was found that depending on molecular weight, either the main chain axis or the side chain axis behaves as the longitudinal axis in fiber samples and was aligned parallel to the fiber axis. A similar phenomenon is present in thin film samples, but was complicated by the additional influence of the interfacial free energy of the side chain group. Even in the case of the polymer with lower molecular weight, the face plane of PDI was found to show both parallel and perpendicular orientations to the substrate (i.e., flat‐on and edge‐on orientations). On the other hand, if the length of the main chain is sufficiently long with respect to the length of the side chain, the face plane of PDI was oriented perpendicular to the substrate, leading to an edge‐on orientation in the thin film. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The growth of copper phthalocyanine thin films evaporated on polycrystalline gold is examined in detail using near edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and surface sensitive x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The combination of both methods allows distinguishing between the uppermost layers and buried interface layers in films up to approximately 3 nm thickness. An interfacial layer of approximately 3 ML of molecules with an orientation parallel to the substrate surface was found, whereas the subsequent molecules are perpendicular to the metal surface. It was shown that even if the preferred molecular orientation in thin films is perpendicular, the buried interfacial layer can be oriented differently. 相似文献

Films with a thousand alternating layers of isotactic polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) were prepared by layer‐multiplying coextrusion. The crystal structure of extremely thin PP layers confined between PS layers was studied by optical light microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS), and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS). Changes in structure were observed as the PP layer thickness decreased to the nanoscale. The thin PP discoids were largely composed of edge‐on lamellae with (040) planes lying flat on the interface. In layers 65 and 10‐nm thick, compressed d‐spacings in the directions perpendicular to the chains and loss of registry along the chain axis were suggestive of smectic packing of conformationally distorted chains. Even so, crystalline lamellae were distinguishable in the AFM images. In addition to the crystal population with (040) planes parallel to the interface, the WAXS from layers 65‐nm thick revealed another crystal fraction with (110) planes parallel to the interface and (040) planes perpendicular to the interface. This fraction was more evident in layers 10‐nm thick, where it accounted for approximately 10–20% of the crystallinity. Decreasing layer thickness resulted in a change of the crystal growth plane from the usual (110) to the more rare (010). The new crystal structure possibly served to fill‐in the radial structure of the dendritic discoids when a limitation to the thickness of the layer left only a little space for secondary nucleation of the crosshatched lamella. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An alignment study of a liquid crystalline copolyether TPP‐7/11(5/5) thin films has been carried out in a 10 kV·cm–1 electrostatic field parallel to the thin film surface normal. This copolyether possesses a negative dielectric anisotropy. The chain molecules are homogeneously aligned in the electric field and they form two‐dimensionally ordered lamellae in a tilted columnar phase when the samples were cooled to room temperature. It is observed that the chain molecules are splayed to form bent lamellae and the chain direction is perpendicular to the tangential direction of the lamellar surfaces. These lamellae thus become replicas of the chain orientation. Due to the flexoelectric effect and density fluctuation on the thin film free surface, disclinations having topological strength s = 1, c = π/4 and defect walls form. These s = 1 disclinations possesses both left‐ and right‐handednesses. Discussion of the defect formations have been attempted. 相似文献

The effect of film thickness on the water‐sorption behaviors of poly(3,4′‐oxydiphenylene pyromellitimide) (PMDA‐3,4′ODA) films was gravimetrically investigated and interpreted with a Fickian diffusion model in films. The diffusion coefficient increased with increasing film thickness, whereas the water uptake and the activation energy decreased. Overall, the water‐sorption behaviors of PMDA‐3,4′ODA films are strongly dependent on the changes in morphological structure, which originated from the variation in the film thickness. As the film thickness increased, the molecular in‐plane orientation decreased, consequently leading to the increased diffusion coefficient and decreased activation energy. In contrast, the water uptake decreased with increasing film thickness because of the increase in the out‐of‐plane packing order. The diffusion coefficient and activation energy were strongly dependent on the in‐plane orientation in the films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 39: 669–676, 2001 相似文献

Thin and ultrathin films of polyethylene of variable thickness are obtained from aqueous dispersions of prefabricated nanoscale crystals by spin‐coating. Continuous films with a thickness of only 15 nm, up to 220 nm, homogeneous over hundreds of μm, or assembled discontinuous monolayers of flat‐on lamella particles were prepared, depending on the solids content of the dispersion employed, as revealed by AFM and TEM. The morphology of melt‐recrystallized films was not affected by the surfactant present. Homogeneous continuous films without undesirable dewetting were retained upon melting and recrystallization of the films upon cooling, composed of polygonal spherulites for a thicker film (220 nm), randomly grown edge‐on lamella for a 40 nm film, and dominant flat‐on lamella for a 15 nm thick film. Annealing below Tm resulted in lamella thickening, without changes of crystal orientation or structure of the particle assemblies for discontinuous monolayers. Surfactant adsorbed to the nanocrystals in the aqueous dispersion desorbs at least partially during formation of the nascent films, and upon annealing below the melting point surfactant migrates to the film‐air interface to form aggregates, which can be removed by rinsing, during which the film stays intact and structurally unaltered as revealed, amongst others, by water contact angles. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We demonstrate the magnetically induced orientation of mesochannels in mesoporous silica films prepared with low‐molecular‐weight surfactants under an extremely high magnetic field of 30 T. This process is principally applicable to any type of surfactant that has magnetic anisotropy because such a high magnetic field provides sufficient magnetic energy for smooth magnetic orientation. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyoxyethylene‐10‐cetyl ether (Brij 56) were used as cationic and nonionic surfactants, respectively. According to XRD and cross‐sectional TEM, mesochannels aligned perpendicular to the substrates were observed in films prepared with low‐molecular‐weight surfactants, although the effect was incomplete. The evolution of these types of films should lead to future applications such as highly sensitive chemical sensors and selective separation. 相似文献

Block copolymer lithography is a promising method for fabricating periodical nanopatterns of less than 20 nm by self-assembly and can be applicable for fabricating patterned magnetic media with a recording density over 1 Tb/in.2. We found a simple technique to control the orientation of cylindrical microdomains in thin films. Simply by mixing polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymers with the homopolymer (PS or PMMA) of the major component, we could align the cylindrical microdomains perpendicular to the film surface. The added homopolymer induces conformational entropic relaxation of the block chains in microdomain space and stabilizes the perpendicular orientation of hexagonally packed cylindrical microdomains. Thus formed perpendicular cylinders can be readily aligned in a regular array with a grating substrate. 相似文献

Following previous work, a fluorinated polyimide with a rod‐like structure has been investigated as an in‐plane birefringent optical material whose birefringence and thickness can be precisely controlled. Poly(amic acid) films fixed in a metal frame by two sides and thermally cured without any drawing resulted in a polyimide film with an in‐plane birefringence (Δn) larger than 0.1 at 1543 nm. The optical retardation, which is defined as the product of Δn and the film thickness, was controlled by varying the curing and post‐annealing temperatures and by using reactive ion etching. In situ measurements of the tensile stress and the generated retardation showed that the initial orientation at below 200°C was due to the large tensile stress caused by the film shrinkage during imidization and that the increased Δn at higher temperatures was caused by the spontaneous orientation of the polyimide molecules. The curing temperature dependence of refractive indices, optical transmittance in the visible and near‐infrared region, and the wavelength dispersion of retardation of the in‐plane birefringent polyimide films are also reported.

The molecular structure of the hydrocarbon 5,6;11,12‐di‐o‐phenylenetetracene (DOPT), its material characterization and evaluation of electronic properties is reported for the first time. A single‐crystal X‐ray study reveals two different motifs of intramolecular overlap with herringbone‐type arrangement displaying either face‐to‐edge or co‐facial face‐to‐face packing depicting intensive π–π interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations underpin that a favorable electronic transport mechanism occurs by a charge hopping process due to a π‐bond overlap in the DOPT polymorph with co‐facial arene orientation. The performance of polycrystalline DOPT films as active organic semiconducting layer in a state‐of‐the‐art organic field effect transistor (OFET) device was evaluated and proves to be film thickness dependent. For 40 nm layer thickness it displays a saturation hole mobility (μhole) of up to 0.01 cm2 V?1 s?1 and an on/off‐ratio (Ion/Ioff) of 1.5×103. 相似文献

MgO thin films with either (111) or (200) preferential orientation have been prepared on (100) Si substrates by sol-gel method after a heat-treatment at 800°C. The obtained (111) preferentially oriented MgO film has a dielectric constant of 7.0 with a loss factor of 5% and a dielectric strength higher than 8 × 105 V/cm. The optical refractive index, which depends on the film thickness, is 1.71 when the film thickness is 260 nm. The surface structure of the Si substrate is believed to affect the preferential orientation of the sol-gel derived MgO film. Specifically, the microstructures at the interface indicate an interdiffusion of Mg, O, and Si between the film and the substrate. 相似文献

The ability of electric fields to align nonpolar semiconducting molecules was demonstrated using hexa(para-n-dodecylphenyl)hexabenzocoronene (HBC-PhC12) as a model compound. A solution of HBC-PhC12 was applied to a glass surface by drop-casting and the molecules were oriented into highly ordered structures by an electric field during solvent evaporation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed a long-range alignment where the disclike molecules were organized in columns perpendicular to the direction of the imposed electric field. The high anisotropy of the uniaxially aligned films was characterized by cross-polarized light microscopy. The birefringence of the HBC-PhC12 films was related to the presence of extended domains of unidirectionally aligned columns in which the aromatic cores of the HBC-PhC12 molecules were perpendicular to the columnar axis. The packing and the arrangement of the molecules in the field-force ordered films were proven by electron diffraction and X-ray analyses. 相似文献

The molecular chain and lamellar crystal orientation in ultrathin films (thickness < 100 nm) of poly-(di-n-hexylsilane) (PDHS) on silicon wafer substrates have been investigated by using transmission electronic microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and UV absorption spectroscopy. PDHS showed a film thickness-dependent molecular chain and lamellar crystal orientation. Lamellar crystals grew preferentially in flat-on orientation in the monolayer ultrathin films of PDHS, i.e., the silicon backbones were oriented along the surface-normal direction. By contrast, the orientation of lamellar crystals was preferentially edge-on in ultrathin films thicker than ca. 13 nm, i.e., the silicon backbones were oriented parallel to the substrate surface. We interpret the different orientations of molecular chain and lamellar crystal as due to the reduction of the entropy of the polymer chain near the substrate surface and the particularity of the crystallographic (001) plane of flat-on lamellae, respectively. A remarkable influence of the orientations of the silicon backbone on the UV absorption of these PDHS ultrathin films was observed due to the one-dimensional nature of sigma-electrons delocalized along the silicon backbone. With the silicon backbones perpendicular or parallel to the surface of the substrate, the UV absorbance increased or decreased with an increase of the angle between the incident UV beam direction and direction normal to the thin film, respectively. 相似文献

This paper describes a simple strategy for the formation of photoaligned and micropatterned discotic liquid crystal (DLC) film on the surface of photoirradiated azobenzene-containing polymer thin film. The key material for the surface-mediated photoalignment of the DLCs was poly[4-(4-cyanophenylazo)phenyl methacrylate] (pMAzCN). Optical anisotropy was generated in a pMAzCN film by oblique exposure to nonpolarized light which resulted in angle-selective photoisomerization and reorientation of the azobenzenes. Subsequent annealing of the film at 240 degrees C enhanced the photoaligned state of the p-cyanoazobenzenes due to strong intermolecular dipole-dipole interaction and semicrystalline nature of the pMAzCN. This combination of photoirradiation and subsequent annealing of the pMAzCN film made it possible to realize the surface-assisted orientation control of a DLC molecule, which displays both columnar (Col) and discotic nematic (N(D)) phases over 152 degrees C. When the pMAzCN film was exposed to linearly polarized light from the surface normal, the DLC molecules showed homeotropic orientation with the director perpendicular to the substrate surface. In the contrast, oblique irradiation of the pMAzCN film with nonpolarized light gave rise to tilted DLC orientation with well-ordered optical birefringence at the N(D) phase. Rapid cooling from the N(D) phase produced a well-aligned glassy N(D) state at room temperature, which was adequately stable for 10 months even though no covalent cross-linking among the DLCs was performed. The spatial orientation of photoaligned DLCs in both their bulk film and in their interface region was characterized by means of optical birefringence, X-ray diffraction, and fluorescence measurements. At the N(D) phase, the DLC molecules were aligned in a hybrid manner such that their tilt angles varied throughout the thickness of DLC film. The direction of tilted DLCs was opposite to the propagation of the actinic nonpolarized light. The photoaligned DLC films exhibited polarized fluorescence emission with an s-polarized/p-polarized intensity ratio of 4.1, despite the nonpolarized excitation of only DLC at outmost surface. These results indicate that the three-dimensionally aligned azobenzene moieties of the pMAzCN thin film were transferred to the tilted DLC molecules at air/DLC interface. Finally, we demonstrated micrometer-scale photopatterned orientation of DLC molecules on the pMAzCN surface by oblique nonpolarized irradiation of the film through a photomask. 相似文献

Thin binary blends of poly(styrene‐b‐methyl methacrylate) (PS‐PMMA) block copolymers in films where the lamellar thickness of one domain is controlled while preserving the thickness of the other domain were demonstrated without microphase separation. One of the block copolymers used here was short and symmetric, and the other was long and asymmetric; the molecular weights of the PMMA block chains in the constituents were similar. A random copolymer brush was introduced and film thickness and composition of brush were adjusted to induce perpendicular orientation in thin film. As the blend composition of the long asymmetric block copolymer increased, the PS lamellar thickness increased from 15.8 to 25.1 nm, whereas the PMMA lamellar thickness remained constant at approximately 14 nm (the thickness decreased slightly from 14.0 to 13.3 nm). The domain spacing behavior in thin film was consistent in the bulk. These results were compared with the Birshtein, Zhulina, and Lyatskaya model and the theories for pure block copolymers in the strong segregation limit and in the intermediate segregation regime. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
