Stucture Control and Functions in Molecular Organized Thin Films

Abstract

Prior to fabrication of functional molecular organized thin film, control of molecular orientation and packing as well as domain structures and sizes in monolayers were studied in situ. Molecular recognition, inclusion and adsorption of functional molecules by lipid or CDs monolayers at the air/water interface have been also valid to control the molecular arrangements. The monolayer assemblies were constructed by the Langmuir-Blodgett method and the horizontal lifting technique to give a well-defined organization of amphiphilic functionalized molecules in layered structures. Some characteristics of optical properties and electrical behaviours for these monolayer assemblies have been discussed.
