STM Studies of LB Deposited Alkyl Substituted Polyaniline and Its Corresponding Monomer (2006)

Quint, P., Duran, R. S., Hara, M., Knoll, W., Sasabe, H.

STM investigations were carried out on monolayers of poly(o- pentadecyl aniline), o-pentadecyl aniline monomer and p-hexadecyl aniline. The polymer was prepared by Langmuir polymerization on a 0.1 M...

Surface-Induced Static Undulations in Multilayer Films of Liquid- Crystalline Polymers (2006)

Geer, R. E., Shashidar, R., Thibodeaux, A. F., Duran, R. S.

The first detailed study of surface-induced undulations in a liquid- crystalline polymer is presented. By examining the non-specular diffuse scattering from a 30-layer film of ferroelectric...

Langmuir-Blodgett Films of 3-Alkyl Pyrroles Studied by STM (2006)

Sigmund, W. M., Bailey, T. S., Duran, R. S., Hara, M., Sasabe, H.

By applying the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique mono- and multilayers of monomers and their polymers were built up on conductive solid substrates for studies with scanning tunneling microscopy...

Polymerization of Conducting Polymers Confined to Free Surfaces: A Comparison of the Langmuir-Blodgett Polymerization of 3-Alkyl Pyrroles and 2-Alkyl Anilines. (1998)

Zhou, H. C., Duran, R. S.

The Langmuir-Blodgett polymerization of two monomers, 2-pentadecyl aniline and 3-hexadecyl pyrrole, is compared. Both monomers reacted to form polymers at air/ aqueous interfaces. The aniline monomer...

The Effect of Surface Pressure on Langmuir-Blodgett Polymerization of 2-Pentadecyl Aniline. (1998)

Duran, R. S.

In this paper the effect of applied surface pressure upon the Langmuir-Blodgett polymerization of 2-pentadecyl aniline is investigated. Increasing the surface pressure was found to increase the...

Real Time Investigations of the Polymerization of 2-Pentadecyl Aniline on the Langmuir Blodgett Trough. (1998)

Zhou, H.C., Duran, R. S.

The monomer, 2-pentadecyl aniline, was spread at air-aqueous interfaces to produce stable monolayer films. Its surface pressure and surface potential isotherms are discussed. Polymerization of...

The Effect of Surface Pressure on the Langmuir-Blodgett Polymerization of 2-Pentadecyl Aniline. (1998)

Duran, R. S.

The application of the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique to the polymerization of 2-pentadecyl aniline on the LB trough is discussed in this paper. The changes in the mean molecular area (MMA) during...

Chemical Polymerization and Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques, 1. The Polymerization of a Monolayer of 2-Pentadecylaniline. (1998)

Stern, R., Batich, C., Duran, R. S.

In this studys the spreading of 2-Pentadecylaniline to form monolayers on a Langmuir trough is discussed. This functionalized aniline is found to form stable monolayers which can subsequently be...

LB-Deposited, Side-Chain Substituted Polyaniline, Polypyrrole and the Corresponding Monomers, Studied by STM. (1998)

Quint, P., Bailey, T., Sigmund, W., Duran, R. S.

STM investigations were carried out on monolayers of two conducting polymers and the corresponding monomers. 2-pentadecyl-aniline, poly-2-pentadecyl-aniline, 3-hexadecyl-pyrrole and...
