The Effect of Surface Pressure on the Langmuir-Blodgett Polymerization of 2-Pentadecyl Aniline

Abstract

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 the polymerization is mainly due to the change of the alkyl sidechain conformation. The polymerization rate (PR) is deduced from the change of the Mma. The effect of the surface pressure on the polymerization is investigated. It is found that the effect of the surface pressure is mainly on the reaction rate constant, not on the surface concentration.
