Langmuir Blodgett and STM Investigations of Conducting Polymer Thin Films

Abstract

The monomer 3-hexadecyl pyrrole was spread and polymerized at air/ aqueous interfaces using a Langmuir trough. During polymerization under isobaric conditions a monotonic decrease in surface area was observed; however, upon expansion and recompression of the monolayer, the surface area for the polymer was found to be larger than that of the monomer. Monomer and polymer monolayers were also transferred to solid supports and studied by STM.
