Ultrathin heteroaromatic polymer films and process for making the same

摘要

Unit layer polyheteroaromatic films of thickness less than 50 nm are obtained when an aldehyde monomer or aldehyde monomer precursor is spread onto an aqueous subphase containing an aromatic amine monomer, said aromatic amine monomer possessing amine or group VI heteroatom alcohols moieties in ortho (XH, NH.sub.2) pairs, where X is N or a group VI heteroatom. The resulting film can be transferred and built up as multilayer films on various substrates.
