Visualization of Polymer Chain Conformations in Amorphous Polyisocyanide Langmuir-Blodgett Films by Atomic Force Microscopy

摘要

Polymer Langmuir monolayers have superior mechanical and thermal stability in comparison with monolayers composed of small molecules, and they have been extensively studied for decades for use in possible applications such as optoelectronics and molecular electronics devices. Polymer monolayers are also ideal models for the study of polymer chains in two dimensions, and their structure and properties in their two-dimensional (2D) states have also been the subject of intense study. However, our understanding of polymer monolayers is still limited.
