A simple chemical fixation method for the fabrication of layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) has been developed to create a large area, highly uniform film for various applications. PEM of weak poly-electrolytes, i.e., polyallylamine hydrogen chloride (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid)(PAA), was assembled on polymer substrates such as poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC). In the case of a weak polyelectrolyte, the fabricated thin film thickness of the polyelectrolyte multilayers was strongly dependent on the pH of the processing solution, which enabled the film thickness or optical properties to be controlled. On the other hand, the environmental stability for device application was poor. In this study, we utilized the chemical fixation method using glutaraldehyde (GA)-amine reaction in order to stabilize the polyelectrolyte multilayers. By simple treatment of GA on the PEM film, the inherent morphology was fixed and the adhesion and mechanical strength were improved. Both surface tension and FT-IR measurements supported the chemical cross-linking reaction. The surface property of the polyelectrolyte films was altered and converted from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by chemical modification. The possible application to antireflection coating on PMMA and PC was demonstrated.

In this paper, we give pressure stimulation into organic ultra thin films and detected the induced displacement current properties, and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition. In processing of a device manufacture, we can see the process is good from the change of a surface pressure and transfer ratio of area per molecule of organic ultra thin films. The structure of manufactured device is MIM(Au/polyimide LB films/AU), the number of accumulated 19 layers. I-V characteristic of the device is measured from -5[V] to +5[V]. The maximum value of measured current is increased as the number of accumulated layers are decreased. The insulation of a thin film is better as the interval between electrodes is larger, and the insulation properties of a thin film is better as the distance between electrodes is larger.

Polyimide is a well-known organic dielectric material, which has not only high chemical and thermal stability but also good electrical insulating and mechanical properties. In this research, we have synthesized a polyamic acid(PAA), which is a precursor of the polyimide. To obtain the optimum conditions of polyamic acid alkylamine salt(PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film deposition, the ${\pi}-A$ isotherms were examined by varying subphase temperature, barrier moving speed and spreading amount of solution. Film formation was verified by measuring transfer ratio, absorption of UV/vis spectra and scanning electron microscope(SEM) images.

A Monte Carlo simulation incorporated with the genetic algorithm is presented to describe the defect known as "transition from Y-to X-type deposition" of the cadmium arachidate Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer film. Simulation is performed based on the detachment models of XY-type deposition. The transition is simulated by introducing a probability of surface molecule detachment considering interaction between neighboring molecules. The genetic algorithm is incorporated into Monte Carlo simulation to get the optimum value of the probability factors. The distribution of layers having different thickness predicted by the simulation correlates well with the measured distribution of thickness using the small-angle X-ray reflectivity. The effect of chain length and subphase temperature on the detachment probability are investigated using the simulation. Simulation results show that an increase (or a decrease) of two hydrocarbon chain is roughly equivalent to the detachment probability to a temperature decrease (or increase) of 15 K.

Layer-by-layer(LbL) 자기 조립법에 의한 poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride)(PEMAh)/poly(4-vinyl pyridine)(P4VP) 다층막의 염료 흡착 거동 및 pH 변화에 의한 염료 방출 거동을 Rodamine 6G(R6G)를 지시제로 사용하여 조사하였다. UV-vis 분광 분석을 이용하여 (PEMAh/P4VP)n 다층막의 두께 및 R6G의 흡착 및 방출 거동을 조사하였다. 다층막에 흡착되는 R6G의 흡착량은 필름의 두께 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다. (PEMAhAh/P4VP)n 다층막의 투과성은 pH 조건에 민감한 거동을 보였으며, 방출액의 pH가 감소할수록 R6G 방출 속도와 방출량은 증가하였다. PEMAh/poly(ethyleneimine)(PEI) capping layer를 (PEMAh/P4VP)n 다층막에 추가로 적층함으로써 흡착된 R6G의 방출 속도를 조절할 수 있었다.

적외선 분광법을 이용하여 하부상의 다양한 pH(3~11) 변화 및 금속이온($Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $La^{3+}$) 존재에 따른 perfluorostearic acid(PFS)의 이온화 거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) 수조의 하부상에 존재하는 pH 변화 및 금속이온의 종류에 따른 PFS의 -COOH의 C = O 신축진동 피크와 $COO^-$ 피크의 이동 및 강도의 변화를 관찰한 결과 하부상 수용액의 pH가 같은 경우에는 PFS의 -COOH 그룹의 C = O 피크 세기의 감소가 $La^{3+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Na^+$의 순으로 나타났다. 이는 PFS에 대한 친화도가 $La^{3+}$가 가장 크며, $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Na^+$의 순서로 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 증류수 하부상에서 생성된 perfluorostearate 이온의 몰분율을 측정한 IR 스펙트럼으로부터 계산한 결과 약 pH 3의 낮은 pH 값에서도 50% 이상의 perfluorostearate 이온이 생성되는 것을 관찰하였으며, 이러한 결과는 PFS의 이온화도가 stearic acid (SA)보다 높은 것을 나타낸다.

Layer-by-layer(LbL) 흡착에 의한 poly(ethylene-alt-m미? anhydride) (PEMAh)/poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) 자기조립 다층박막을 제조하였다. 자기조립 다층막을 이루는 PEMAh/P4VP 두 고분자 사이의 수소 결합과 정전기적 인력이 다층막을 이루는 원동력이라는 것이 푸리에 변환 적외선(FT-IR) 분광분석에 의해서 확인되었다. 다층막의 균일한 자기조립 과정은 PEMAh/P4VP 이중층막의 적층 수 증가에 따른 UV-vis 스펙트럼의 256 nm에서 나타나는 P4VP 특성 흡수 피크의 선형적 증가에 의해서 확인할 수 있었다. 다층막을 이루는 고분자 전해질 담지 용액의 조건 변화가 다층막 형성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 두 고분자 용액의 농도 및 PEMAh 담지용액의 pH를 변화시키면서 다층막을 제조하였다. 다층막의 두께, 흡착된 고분자 전해질 질량 및 표면 거칠기의 변화를 UV-vis 분광 분석, 수정진동자 미량저울(quartz crystal microbalance;QCM) 및 원자 힘 현미경(atomic force microscopy;AFM)을 이용하여 측정하였다.

Singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) is an important species for oxidation in biological processes. $^1O_2$ is implicated in the genotoxic effect, and plays an important role in the cell-signaling cascade and in the induction of gene expression. However, the rapid detection of $^1O_2$ in biological environments with sufficient specificity and sensitivity is hampered by its extremely low emission probability. Here, a layer-by-layer (LbL) film of CdTe quantum dots (QDs), polymers, and ascorbate have been designed as a rapid, highly selective, and sensitive fluorescence probe for $^1O_2$ detection. Upon reaction with $^1O_2$, the probe exhibits a strong photoluminescence (PL) response even at trace levels. This remarkable PL change should enable the probe to be used for $^1O_2$ detection in many chemical and biological systems and as an environmental sensor.

Staining profiles and bacterial morphology were compared in Xanthomonas citri pv. citri by a transmission electron microscopy. Four types of negative staining regimes were employed depending on culture media and heavy metal stains. The bacterial cells grown on LB agar media often appeared clustered on the supporting film. Meanwhile, individual bacterial cells could be readily found on the preparations from LB broth media. Typical rod-shaped cells (ca. $1\;{\mu}m$ in length) and their flagella were observed in either 2% uranyl acetate (UA) or 2% neutralized potassium phosphotungstate (PTA) staining. The UA-stained bacteria often showed relatively intact cell morphology and rather positively stained cells with a thin electron-dense stain depth around bacteria. The PTA-stained bacteria were characterized by the wrinkled cell surface where the stain was entrapped in grooves. In addition, distinct electron-dense stain depth was evident around the PTA-stained preparations. Numerous fimbriae could be mostly observed from the PTA-stained preparations of the two culture media, but not from the UA-stained preparations.

We introduce a novel and robust method for the preparation of nanocomposite multilayers, which allows the excellent photoluminescent (PL) properties as well as the accurate control over the composition and dimensions of multilayers. By exchanging the oleic acid stabilizers of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs) synthesized in organic solvent with 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid (BMPA) in the same solvent, these nanoparticles were be alternately deposited by nucleophilic substitution reaction with highly branched poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMA) through layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly process. Our approach does not need to be transformed into the water-dispersible nanoparticles with electrostatic or hydrogen-bonding groups, which can deteriorate their inherent properties, for the built-up of multilayers. The nanocomposite multilayers including QDs exhibited the strong PL properties achieving densely packed surface coverage as well as long-term PL stability under atmospheric conditions in comparison with those of conventional LbL multilayers based on electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the flexible multilayer films with optical properties can be easily prepared using nucleophilic substitution reaction between bromo and amino groups in organic media. This robust and tailored method opens a new route for the design of functional film devices based on nanocomposite multilayers.
