Conducting Langmuir-Blodgett films of polyaniline: Fabrication and charge transport properties

Polyaniline Langmuir–Blodgett films: formation and properties

“…The solubility of the emeraldine salt, and, in particular, its ability to form Langmuir films at the air/water interface, can be promoted by careful choice of the dopant. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] A number of studies have focused on the preparation of PAN Langmuir films and their deposition and characterization as LB layers on solid supports. Agbor et al 18 successfully deposited LB films of PAN on a variety of substrates and used them for gas sensing.…”

Self-assembly of non-linear polymers at the air/water interface: the effect of molecular architecture

“…Of particular interest is the non-linear polymer composed of luminescent conjugated polymer chain, 155 for example, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) [156][157][158] and poly[2-methoxy,5-(2 0 -ethylhexoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV). 159,160 The application of the LB technique to conjugated polymers has produced a variety of electrical and optical ultra-thin film devices, such as light emitting diodes, [161][162][163][164][165][166] thin film conductors, [167][168][169][170][171] memory devices, 172 ferroelectric thin films, [173][174][175] nonlinear optical devices, 176,177 sensors, [178][179][180][181][182] and field-effect transistors. 183,184 The ability to pattern the conjugated non-linear polymers may promise new opportunities to fabricate flexible integrated circuits.…”

A Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with LangmuirBlodgett Film Composed of DNA and Polyaniline for the Sensitive Determination of Salbutamol

“…Polyaniline (Sigma Aldrich; Mw ca. 10 000) was doped with p ‐toluene sulfonic acid using methanol as the solvent 30, 31. Fish sperm DNA were supplied by Shanghai Sangon Company (Shanghai, China).…”
