Abstract: | A novel anionic fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid surfactant (SS-Hyb-Na+) with a disulfide group has been synthesized from 11-bromo-1-undecanal and perfluorohexylethyl iodide via three steps. The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) transfer of the 1:100 (mol/mol) mixed monolayer of SS-Hyb-Na+ and stearyl alcohol (C18OH) formed on an aqueous solution containing a cationic polymer, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA+Cl-) onto a hydrophobic silicon wafer yields the formation of wormlike aggregates consisting of SS-Hyb-/PDDA+ polyion complexes. It is found that the aggregates align along the withdrawal direction of the wafer substrate. When the wafer on which the wormlike aggregates exist is immersed into the dispersion of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) prepared by the citrate reduction method, Au NPs align along the wormlike structures. Even though the surface of the wafer is placed either vertical or parallel to the monolayer compression direction during the LB transfer, the one-dimensional (1D) array of Au NPs is observed along the withdrawal direction of the wafer. This indicates that the wormlike aggregates of SS-Hyb-/PDDA+ complexes are aligned during the LB transfer, and the aligned aggregates behave as a scaffold in the 1D array of Au NPs. |
