Abstract
SynopsisNovel polymer materials bearing unique chemical structures prepared by chemical reaction at the interfaces are introduced. Cross-linked polymer materials, including thin fi lms, soft gels, and hollow capsules, consisting of composite polymer nanofilms were prepared by click reaction at oil-water interfaces between lipophilic polymers or between lipophilic and hydrophilic polymers. The combination of lipophilic and hydrophilic polymers produced “Janus” nanofi lms with both hydrophilic and lipophilic surfaces. As chemical liquid deposition onto solid-liquid interfaces, covalent bonded 2D supramolecular adlayers and colored π-conjugated polymer thin fi lms were constructed by means of adsorption induced Schiff-base coupling controlled by delicate control of solution pH in aqueous solutions containing molecular building blocks.
