Acidichromism in the LB film of bolaform Schiff base

A bolaform （BNC10） and single-headed （HNOA） amphiphilic Schiff bases containing naphthyl group were designed and their Langmuir-Blodgett films were investigated. It was found that both the LB films show acidichromism, i.e. a reversible color change upon alternatively exposing the films to HC1 and NH3 gases, respectively. It was further found that the bolaform Schiff bases film could trap NH3 gas during the acidichromic process.

A New Method of Photopatterning with LB Films Based on a Chemically Amplified Mechanism

A new approach to introducing a photoacid generator（PAG） into Langmuir-Blodgett （LB） films to draw photopatterns as a lithographic process is described here. The chemically amplified positive-tone resist system used here consists of two components ： a copolymer, poly （ dodecrylacrylamide-co-4-t-butyloxylvinyl-phenylcarbonate ） [ P （ DDA-t- BVPC53 ） ] and a PAG, tri （2,3-dibromopropyl） isocyanurate （ TDBPIC ）. In the two-component system, the acid generated by the PAG catalyzes the deprotection reaction of P（ DDA-t-BVPC53）, to remove the tert-butoxycarbonyl group（t-BOC） in the exposed region during the postexposure baking process, thus rendering the exposed region soluble to alkaline aqueous solvents to form a positive tone. Photolithographic properties of the LB films have been evaluated. The patterns can be resolved with a resolution of 1 μm line width by UV irradiation, followed by development with an alkaline solution. The LB films can be used to generate etched gold relief images on a glass substrate via an aqueous iodide, like ammonium iodide, in alcohol/water as the etchant. The etch resistance of such LB films is sufficiently good, allowing patterning of a gold film suitable for photomask fabrication.

Synthesis and Structure of PEDOT Prepared through a Modified LB Film Method

Adopting LB film method, an arachidic acid （AA）/PEDOT multilayer LB film and polymerized EDOT monomers in hydrophilic group of LB were chosen to prepare the arachidic acid （AA）/PEDOT multilayer LB film. UV-Vis, FT-IR and XPS analyses implied that EDOT was effectively polymerized in film, and thus PEDOT conducting polymer was produced. Analyses of XRR and SIMS indicated that the film had a well-arranged lamella structure, and further research showed that polymerization of EDOT in AA film destroyed the orderliness of the original LB film. This phenomenon could be related to the destructive effect of polymerization on the layered structure. We used four-point probe and semiconductor instrument to study the conductivity property of the film, and observed that the conductivity of AA/PEDOT film had sudden changes with the changes of processing time in an effective conduction network, which was caused by ＂permeability＂ in conducting channel of multilayer film. The test results also indicated that the conductivity of AA/PEDOT film was obviously better than that of spin-coating PEDOT/PSS or ODA-SA/PEDOT-PSS film due to the higher π structure of PEDOT structure and ordered film structure.

Gas Sensitivity of Poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene) Prepared by a Modified LB Film Method

An arachidic acid/poly （3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene） （AA/PEDOT） multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett （LB） film was prepared by a modified LB film method. The theories were utilized to explain the effects between HCl molecule and LB film. The gas sensitivity mechanism of poly （3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene） （PEDOT） multilayer film can be explained by the charge transfer between p system of PEDOT and oxidization HCl system. The gas sensitivity of PEDOT LB film deposited interdigital electrode to HCl was tested. The results showed that film thickness, treating temperature, deposition speed had different influence on film gas sensitivity. The AA/PEDOT film deposited device exhibited nonlinear behavior to HCl gas at lower concentration （20-60 ppm） and linear response behavior at higher gas concentration was observed. The time of the compound LB film of the AA/PEDOT responding to the 30 ppm HCl gas is about 20 seconds, which is far quicker than the time of the film to the PEDOTPRESS film（about 80 seconds）. It is not higher film press to better film. When the film press attains 45 mNs/m, the sensitivity of the AA/PEDOT film on the contrary descends.

Luminescent Properties of Europium Complexes with Different Long Chains in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) Films

A series of europium(III) complexes with different chain length, tris [2-m-pyridylmethanamido-5-phenyl- (1,3,4)-oxadiazole] mono [2-(4-n-alkylphenyl)-iminazole (4,5-f)-1,10-phenanthroline] Eu(III) [Eu(PMA)3Nn (n = 6, 10, 14,18)] were synthesized. All of these amphiphilic europium(III) complexes could form stable Langmuir film at air/water interface and could be transferred onto hydrophilic quartz and mica substrates by measurement of UV spectra in which the absorbance of the LB films at about 288 nm scales showed the linearity with the number of layers deposited. In order to investigate relation between fluorescence properties and the arrangement of molecular in LB films, surface topography of monolayer films were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results showed that the emission spectra have Eu(III) characteristic peaks and strong emission strength. It is interesting that the molecular with looser arrangement in LB films has better monochromacity, which illustrated that energy might transferred more easily from ligand to Eu(III) in loosen structure films.
