Abstract
We fabricated a polymer nanosphere multilayered organization consisting of aromatic polyamides with rigid main chains and flexible side chains by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, which resulted in a high regularity along the c-axis. The particle arrangement was estimated by performing out-of-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and atomic force microscopic (AFM) observation. The results suggest that a double-particle layered structure (Y-type) is formed by the LB technique, forming amphiphilic particles at the air/water interface. In addition, copolymers with highly hydrophobic carbazole components and both hydrogenated and fluorinated side-chains also formed polymer nanoparticle at the air/water interface. Formation of single-particle layered structure was indicated. Therefore, it is possible to control the formation of single- and double-particle layered structure. Further, it was found that multiparticle layered organization of polymer nanospheres and polymer nanosheets could be formed simultaneously with the same component material.
