Abstract
Recently, bottom-up nanotechnology for constructing soft-nanodevices with nano-structured materials such as supramolecules, organic thin films, nano-particles, and nanotubes have been of interest. Precise control of their surfaces and interfaces becomes gradually key technique. We have developed a new type of polymer nano-sheets with Langmuir-Blodgett technique for the surface coating and interface control in fabrication of nano-devices.. It is found that N-alkylacrylamide polymers form a two-dimensional net-work on the water surface with most condensed molecular packing. The condensed polymer monolayers (polymer nano-sheet) can be transferred onto solid substrates to build up various functional molecular devices. In this presentation, the surface modification with fluorinated polymer nano-sheet and visualization of nano-confined area with emissive ruthenium complex and rare earth metal complex nano-sheets are described.
