Recently, a study on LB ultra thin film of molecular size is widely performed. To make use of LB ultra thin film in engineering applications, it is important to investigate how uniformly Langmuir film is deposited on a substrate. In this paper, to confirm the uniformity of film deposition, the relation between the monolayer numbers deposited and its ratio is investigated by deposition of the Y type and Hetero type LB film. If films are deposited ideally, the deposition ratio will become 1.0. From the experimental results, it can be suggested that the deposition of LB film is done well, as we obtained an approximate value 1.0 by the calculation of deposition ratio of L film area and LB film deposition area.

We attempted to fabricate polyurethane derivatives (PU-CN, PU-DCM) LB films by using LB method. Also, we investigated the monolayer behavior at the air-water interface by surface pressure-area (${\pi}$-A) isotherms. The surface morphologies and the physicochemical properties of LB films were investigated by atomic force microscopy(AFM) and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. And, the electrical properties of polyurethane derivatives LB films were investigated by using the conductivity and the dielectric constant. In the surface morphologies, physicochemical and electrical properties of polyurethane derivatives LB films, the properties is different as to the polyurethane derivatives, it is considered that this phenomena could be described by the difference of lumophore pendant which was adhered at PU main chain.

LB layers L-$\alpha$-DLPC deposited by LB method were deposited onto n-type silicon wafer as Z-type film. Films made up of 8, 16 layers of lipid with long alkyl chain and the thickness of monolayer and multiayers was determined by ellipsometry. Ut was deposited Ag and Al onto LB layers and silicon wafer for electrode and small electrode exhibit high capacitiance and low lekage current. The C-V curves of the MLS capacitor shows very high saturation value of capacitance. And cross-sectional SEM image of MLD capacitor indicated the presence of pore with Al electrode and we found that the Ag is good for electrode metal.

The use of preformed polymers and their cross-linking have been a attempted in order to improve the intrinsic fraqility of monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)films and to make their technological applications possible. It has shown that an imidization followed a polyion-complexation can stabilize the LB films against heat and solvents. And when the polymer structure was properly designed concurrent removal of the alkyl tails together with imide formation could be accomplished. In this paper we present a characteristic monolayer behavior of polymer with pendent polythers and carboxyls it’s polyion-complexed LB film with subphase polymer PAA and a possible skeletonization of the LB film by thermal imidization. Also deposition status of LB films are evaluated by using QCM

The permeability of oxygen and nitrogen was investigated from the polymeric LB films containing imidazole-metal ion complexes and compared with its corresponding cast films on porous membrane filters. The amphiphilic polymer, poly(N- (2-(4-imidazolyl)ethyl)-maleimide-alt-1-octadecene) (IM-O), was synthesized by reaction of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) with histamine. The IM-O nonolayer showed high stability on Fe (III) ion-containing subphase. The molecular structure in the LB films was investigated by means of FT-IR spectroscopy. The metal ion concentration incorporated into the LB films was determined by means of XPS measurements. The mechanical stability and uniformity of the LB films on porous substrates were indirectly evidenced by SEM observation. The LB and cast films showed more or less higher selectivity toward nitrogen, and high permeability was found to both the oxygen and nitrogen.

The antiwear properties of amphiphilic monolayers and composite multilayer on silicon surface were investigated using micro­tribometer and Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Langmuir­Blodgett (LB) monolayers from behenic acid, 2,4­heneicosanedione(HD) and its lopper complex((HD)$_2$Cu) were fabricated on silicon surface and the composite multilayer of 5­bilayer of (HD)$_2$Cu was fabricated on the surface of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self­assembled monolayer (SAM). We observed that LB monolayers and the composite multilayer exhibited a steady and excellent friction response when compared with the OTS SAM. These LB mono and multilayer also showed much higher wear­resistance than the OTS SAM.

We report the studies on the structrural properties of Langmuir Blodgett (LB) films fabricated from the copolymer of vinylidenefluoride (VDF) with trifluoroethylene(TrFE). The formation of nanomesas induced by thermal annealing at $135\;^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was investigated with the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the X-ray diffractometer (XRD). From the result of surface morphology change in 30 monolayer LB film, we find that the annealing treatment on the P(VDF-TrFE) LB film result in the plastic deformation of crystalline polymer. The ${\beta}$ phase crytalline structure in annealed LB film was clearly confirmed from the XRD peak at $19.7^{\circ}$.

Stability improvement of fragile LB films was attempted by polyion complexation of monolayers at the air-water interface and crosslinking of the resulting LB films. The spreading polymers were synthesized by radical copolymerization of monoalkyl itaconate with oligoethyleneglycol methyl vinylether, and poly(allylamine) was employed as the subphase polymer. Formation and characteristic of the monolayers were comfirmed by surface pressure-area($\pi$-A) isotherms. The two different polymers formed polyion-complexed monolayer through the formation of carboxylate/ammonium salt at the air-water interface. Y-type deposition occurred on solid substrates, and the transfer ratio was over 0.7. Pores (diameter, 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$) of a membrane filter could be covered by polyion-complexed 6 layers. Interactions of the polymers with metal ions were investigated of the air-water interface and in the LB films. The structure change and macroscope morphology of the LB films were confirmed by FT-lR and SEM, respective1y.

Polyaniline(PANI)-stearic acid(SA) composite monolayer was formed at the air-water interface. The stearic acid as a surfactant was used to promote PANI monolayer formation. Uniform PANI-SA monolayer assemblies with Y type and transfer ratio of ca. 1 were fabricated using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The PANI-SA composite LB films with high electrical conductivity of $10^{-1}{\sim}10^{-2}S/cm$ were obtained by doping of HCl or $I_2$, and their conductivity revealed essentially close value as that of conventional PAHI-HCl complex. Especially, iodine is found to be the most promising dopant, since it gives a remarkable stability for the application as a polymer electrode in the MIM molecular device consisted of acceptor, sensitizer, and donor. The structure and physical properties of PANI-SA LB films were investigated through the near-ir UV, FT-IR, and Cyclic voltammetry.
