The response properties of quartz crystal coated with stearic acid LB films to organic gases were investigated by measuring the shift of resonant frequency. Stearic acid was used as a sensing material and deposited on the surface of quartz crystal using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The effect of temperature on the quartz crystal coated with stearic acid LB films was also investigated by Scanning Maxwell-stress Microscopy(SMM). As a result, the sensitivity of the quartz crystal coated with LB films to organic gases is dependent on temperature, thickness of LB film and molecular weight of organic gas.

The absorption spectra of synthesis of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids were investigated by UV spectrophotometer in chloroform solution. Also, the pressure-area isotherms of the molecules on the water-air interface were obtained and the LB films were fabricated onto a quartz slides and quartz crystals by the conventional Langmuir-Blodggett(LB) method. The UV absorption spectra of Langmuir-Blodggett(LB) films on quartz slides have been measured. From these measurements, following conclusions were obtained. Azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids show a photoisomerization by irradiation of UV light and visible light alternatively. At the pressure-area isotherms, the value of surface pressure increment were decreased when the number of $C_n$ increased. Also the LB films show a photoisomerization characteristics. So the LB film of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acid has possibility to being applied to functional molecular device such as photomemory and light switching.

An ability of $NO_2$ gas detection has been investigated using dilithium phthalocyanine($Li_2Pc$) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. It is a well-known gas sensitive material and has been manufactured under a surface pressure of 30mN/m. A status of deposited films was confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectrum, ellipsometry measurements and current-voltage characteristics. Gas-detection characteristics of the films were studied through an electrical conductivity, response time, recovery time, and reproducibility under 200 ppm of $NO_2$ gases.

The structural changes of the merocyanine monolayer LB (Langmuir Blodgett) films were investigated. These changes were compared with the typical changes of the molecular structures of merocyanine solutions. The structural changes of quinoid/benzenoid were attained by exposure to atmosphere gases (HCl gas, N $H_{3}$ gas). The photoisomerization was not observed for the monolayer LB film due to their state of $M_{trans}$. But we could obtain the cis/trans photoisomerization characteristics reversibly, after the films were changed to M $H^{+}$$_{trans}$ structure by exposure to HCl gas. We also found that the cis/trans photoisomerization of the LB monolayer films show the memory characteristics.s.

Using $CdCl_2$ buffer solution as subphase for LB films deposition, it was achieved successively to fabricate the Y-type mixed LB films of (N-eicosyl pyridinium)-TCNQ(1:2) complex and arachidic acid. By measure of U.V spectra and capacitance, deposition status was confirmed. Electrical conductivity was measured on a perpendicular direction of the LB films and in consequence of calculated was average $2.5\;{\times}\;10^{-13}$ - $2\;{\times}\;10^{-14}$ S/cm.

Ultra-thin films of amphiphillic squarylium dye were prepared on the hydrophillic substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. In this study, the photoelectric properties of a amphiphillic squarylium dye LB film was investigated. The visible light(${\lambda}$ = 684nm ) of xenon lamp was illuminated on the amphiphillic squarylium dye LB films and light absorptivity and photoconductivity were observed. The photoconductivity was nearly constant regardless of nominal layer number. The photoelectric properties of the amphiphillic squarylium dye LB films with bottom electrode showed better than that top electrode.

The electro-optic properties in Langmuir Blodgett films of poly (vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) are investigated in the crossover region between two and three dimensions. The absence of finite size effect is observed in the films thinner than 20 nm, which confirms that these films are two dimensional ferroelectrics. The copolymer LB film of P(VDF-TrFE) exhibits the largest electro-optic response(26 pm/V) at 10 layer thickness. The cross-over behavior of electro-optic effect around the 10 layer thickness was discussed with the formation of nanomesa after thermal annealing.

A coverage of about 1 μm-sized pores of a membrane filter by four monolayers of maleic acids copolymers and poly(allylamine) (PAA) was attained by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique through a covalent cross-linking followed a polyion complexation at the air-water interface. The copolymers were prepared to have side chains of hydrocarbon tail, carboxyl, and/or oligoether in the repeat unit. The surface pressure-area isotherms showed that the monolayers on an aqueous PAA have more expanded area than on pure water. The monolayers were transferable on a calcium fluoride substrate and a fluorocarbon membrane filter as Y deposition type, and the resulting LB films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. A polymer network produced through interchain amide formation was confirmed in as-deposited films. The films were heat-treated in order to complete the cross-linking. SEM observation of the heat-treated film on a porous membrane filter showed that the four layer film was sufficiently stable to cover the filter pore of about 1 μm. Immersion of the film in water or in chloroform did not cause any change in its appearance on SEM and in FT-IR spectra.

Although the reversibility of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic amino meta-acid(PCDA-mBzA) against temperature and pH was reported, the modulation of reversibility by ion adsorption at terminal functional group has not been investigated. In this work, we developed a simple method for modulating the reversibility of PCDA-mBzA films upon a thermal stimulus by cadmium ion adsorption inducing the breakage of the outer hydrogen bonding of two hydrogen bonds, which are responsible for the reversible properties of PCDA-mBzA. External reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ER-FTIR) analyses revealed that the hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid groups was broken through ion adsorption and only a single hydrogen bond between the amide groups remained in the PCDA-mBzA polymer. In addition, PCDA-mBzA films could recover their original property through cadmium ion desorption. These results present that the transition between reversibility and irreversibility can be modulated artificially simply through the adsorption and desorption of metal ions.

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.
