Abstract

The characteristics of stearic acid and PDA (pentacosaDiyonicAcid) LB films were studied using the XRD spectra for regularity of layers and ellipsometer for the total thickness of multilayer films. From the experiments of varying the PH and temperature, it was found that the stability of monolayer on the water subphase was very sensitive to its PH and temperature. The optimum condition of PH for the stable stearic acid LB film was 6$\sim$6.5. The PDA LB films were stable at the lower temperature than room temperature: we obtained very uniform PDA LB films at 12$^{\circ}C$.
