Several optical and electrical functional materials have been prepared by hierarchical assembly of “polymer nanosheets”. “Polymer nanosheets” consisting of amphiphilic polyalkylacrylamides are described as ultrathin polymer Langmuir-Blodgett films through two-dimensional hydrogen networks between polymer backbones. Several functional polymer nanosheets, those contain organic dye or redox active molecules have been prepared by the copolymerization method. These polymer nanosheets were hierarchically assembled onto as solid substrate based on the redox potentials of the functional molecules. We demonstrated that the potential diagrams in the hierarchically assembled film can be easily controlled by the selection of the functional molecules and the deposition order of the functional polymer nanosheets. Furthermore, the hierarchical assembled films were applied to fabricate molecular memory, switch and logic gate functions.
