Self-assembly of monolayer-thick alumina particle-epoxy composite films

Monolayer-thick composite films composed of alpha-alumina and Spurr's epoxy were prepared via a self-assembly process known as fluid forming. The process makes use of a high-spreading-tension fluid composed of volatile and nonvolatile components to propel particles across the air-water interface within a water bath. Continuous addition of the particle suspension builds a 2D particle film at the air-water interface. The spreading fluid compresses the film into a densely packed array against a submerged substrate. The assembled monolayer is deposited onto the substrate by removing the substrate from the bath. A dispersion containing a narrow size distribution, 10 microm alpha-alumina particles, light mineral oil, and 2-propanol was spread at the air-water interface and the alumina particles were assembled into densely packed arrays with an aerial packing fraction (APF) of 0.88. However, when mineral oil was replaced by Spurr's epoxy nonuniform films with low packing density resulted. It was found that replacing 2-propanol with a mixture of 2-propanol and 1-butanol with a volume ratio of 4:1 produced uniform, densely packed alumina/epoxy composite films. The role of the solvent mixture will be discussed.     

Self-assembly of multilayer films containing gold nanoparticles via hydrogen bonding

Polymer/Au nanoparticle multilayer ultrathin films are fabricated via hydrogen-bonding interaction by a layer-by-layer technique. The Au nanoparticles surface-modified with pyridine groups of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) are prepared in dimethyl formamide (DMF). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image shows that uniform nanoparticles are dispersed in the PVP chains. Poly(3-thiophene acetic acid) (PTAA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) are utilized to form hydrogen bonds with PVP, respectively. Considering the pH-sensitive dissociation behavior of PTAA and PAA, we investigate the release behavior of the Au-containing multilayers at different pH values in this work. UV-vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are employed to monitor the buildup and the release of the multilayers. The results indicate that in the films assembled with gold nanoparticles, the polymers are difficult to be removed from the substrate. The interaction between the gold particles and the neighboring PVP chains is responsible for the phenomenon. Gold particles act as physical cross-link points in the multilayers. Due to the additional interaction caused by the gold nanoparticles in the films except the hydrogen-bonding interaction between PTAA (or PAA) and PVP, the stability of the Au-containing multilayer film is ensured even though the changes in pH values may result in the break of the hydrogen bonds.     

Self-assembly of the perfluoroalkyl-alkane F14H20 in ultrathin films

Scanning force microscopy on monomolecular films of eicosylperfluorotetradecane, F(CF(2))(14)(CH(2))(20)H, on mica, silicon oxide, or water revealed spontaneous organization to well-defined nanoscopic ribbon and spiral or toroidal superstructures. Whether ribbons or nanospirals were formed depended on the solvent from which the molecular monofilm was cast. Ribbons were observed when a hydrocarbon or a perfluorocarbon solvent was used, e.g., decalin or perfluorodecalin. When the compound, however, was deposited from nonselective hexafluoroxylene, the molecules assembled into spirals of defined size. The spirals/toroids transformed to ribbons when exposed either to decalin or perfluorodecalin vapor, and the ribbons transformed to toroids when exposed to hexafluoroxylene vapor. These changes could be observed in situ. Scanning force microscopy yielded an identical height and width for the bands forming the spirals and for the parallel flat ribbons. X-ray reflectivity yielded a height of 3.61 +/- 0.05 nm, again identical for both morphologies. Yet, the length of the extended F(CF(2))(14)(CH(2))(20)H molecule, i.e., 4.65 nm, exceeds the layer thickness obtained from X-ray reflectometry. It is, however, consistent with an arrangement where the fluorinated chains are oriented normal to the surface layer and where the alkyl segments are tilted with a 122 degrees angle between the two segments. Within the plane defined by the tilt, this angle allows a dense packing of the alkyl segments compensating for the larger cross-section of the fluorocarbon segment. The tilt plane defines an "easy" direction along which the monolayer structure can preserve order. In the plane perpendicular to this axis, long-range ordered dense packing of the alkyl chains is not possible. Incommensurable packing can in principle explain the finite and regular width of the ribbons and the stepwise turn in the spirals.     

Self-assembly of PbTe quantum dots into nanocrystal superlattices and glassy films

Monodisperse lead telluride (PbTe) nanocrystals ranging from approximately 4 to 10 nm in diameter are synthesized to provide quantum dot building blocks for the design of novel materials for electronic applications. Two complementary synthetic approaches are developed that enable either (1) isolation of small quantities of nanocrystals of many different sizes or (2) the production of up to 10 g of a single nanocrystal size. PbTe nanocrystals are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical absorption. Assembly of PbTe nanocrystals is directed to prepare nanocrystal solids that display either short-range (glassy solids) or long-range (superlattices) packing order by varying deposition conditions. Film order and average interparticle spacing are analyzed with grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). We perform the first optical and electronic studies of PbTe solids and demonstrate that chemical activation of these films enhances conductivity by approximately 9-10 orders of magnitude while preserving their quantum dot nature.     

Self-assembly and optical properties of water-soluble porphyrin alternating CdSe nanoparticulate films

A new type of self-assembled film was prepared by alternating deposition of oppositely charged meso-tetra-(4-trimethylaminophenyl) porphyrin nickel iodide (NiTAPPI) and citrate-stabilized CdSe nanoparticles. The stepwise deposition process was monitored by means of UV–vis spectroscopy. The interaction between the porphyrin and CdSe nanoparticles was characterized with UV–vis and fluorescence spectra. The SEM images showed the formation of densely packed two-dimensional array and the conversion of disorder-to-order of CdSe nanoparticles on the quartz substrate modified by PDDA when depositing positively charged NiTAPPI. The self-assembled film placed in ambient air exhibited significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity. The effects of heat treatment and UV-light irradiating on fluorescence properties of the composite films were investigated in details.     

Self-assembly of star ABC triblock copolymer thin films: self-consistent field theory

Microphase separation and morphology of star ABC triblock copolymers confined between two identical parallel walls (symmetric wetting or dewetting) are investigated with self-consistent field theory (SCFT) combined with the "masking" technique to describe the geometric confinement of the films. In particular, we examine the morphology of confined near-symmetric star triblock copolymers under symmetric and asymmetric interactions as a function of the film thickness and the surface field. Under the interplay between the degree of spatial confinement, characterized by the ratio of the film thickness to bulk period, and surface field, the confined star ABC triblock copolymers are found to exhibit a rich phase behavior. In the parameter space we have explored, the thin film morphologies are described by four primary classes including cylinders, perforated lamellae, lamellae, and other complex hybrid structures. Some of them involve novel structures, such as spheres in a continuous matrix and cylinders with alternating helices structure, which are observed to be stable with suitable film thickness and surface field. In particular, complex hybrid network structures in thin films of bulk cylinder-forming star triblock copolymers are found when the natural domain period is not commensurate with the film thickness. Furthermore, a strong surface field is found to be more significant than the spatial confinement on changing the morphology of star triblock copolymers in bulk. These findings provide a guide to designing novel microstructures involving star triblock copolymers via geometric confinement and surface fields.     

Self-assembly of poly(9,9'-dihexylfluorene) to form highly ordered isoporous films via blending

Highly ordered hexagonal arrays of isoporous films prepared from poly(9,9'-dihexylfluorene) and polystyrene-grafted silica nanoparticles (Si-graft-PS) are presented. These close-packed arrays were formed in areas of many square millimeters. The pore size varied from 3.6 to 8.5 microm, depending on the concentration of Si-graft-PS and the processing conditions. Solid-state photoluminescence resulted in a significant red shift of up to 30 nm in these films compared to that in conventional processing techniques. These differences are attributed to enhanced aggregation of the polymers caused by polymer-solvent interactions. These highly ordered polymer films may find use in microelectronic and biological and/or chemical sensor applications.     

Self-assembly and photoelectric properties of cerium complexes with 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid on nanocrystalline TiO_2 films

Self-assembled (SA) films (PMP, M = Ce3+ or Ce4+) of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTA) on nanocrystalline TiO2 films with Ce3+ or Ce4+ as a bridge were fabricated and characterized with UV-Vis, IR, and XPS synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES) which gave the HOMO energy levels for the SA films. It was shown that thin-layer sandwich-type solar cells based on these SA films possess good properties for photoelectric conversion. While PTA-loaded TiO2 electrode (P) generated 26.9% of incident monochromatic photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE), PMP-sensitized Ti02 electrodes yielded 55.8% and 39.1% for Ce4+ and Ce3+ respectively. PMP films can be considered as a kind of complexes whose HOMO energy levels were proved to be higher than that of film P, which is one of the major reasons for the increase in IPCE from film P to film PMP.
