Organic Thin Films: Structure and Applications

Bys: American Chemical Society Division of Polymer Chemistry and Calif.) American Chemical Society Meeting 1997 (San Francisco

This volume presents current perspectives on organic thin films with special emphasis on monolayer structure, supramolecular assemblies, and nanocomposites. It discusses how the anisotrophic character of liquid crystals can be exploited to investigate organic surfaces, and it reports on novel approaches for chemically grafting polyglutamates from silicon oxide surfaces through vapor deposition/polymerization. It also describes quantum confinement effects in thin films of block conjugated copolymer heterostructures, and examines the development of tricyanovinylaniline polymer thin films for ultrashort optical pulse diagnostics.
