Isotherms and morphology of nanocomposite thin films deposited using modified langmuir-schaefer technique
Malik, S1, Fatin Hana Naning2, Azyuni Aziz3.
Various techniques have been used to prepare polymer nanocomposite thin films that involve tedious work and consume
considerable amount of materials and time. In this study, nanocomposite thin films of poly (3-hexylthiophene -2, 5-diyl) (P3HT),
stearic acid and CdSe nanoparticles were fabricated by a stamping method which is a modification of Langmuir Schaefer
technique. The CdSe nanoparticles were then grown in-situ between subsequent layers of thin film by gas exposure technique.
Their surface-pressure (-A) isotherms and morphology were investigated. The surface-pressure isotherms revealed that, impurities
in water subphase affect the profile of Langmuir monolayer. Stearic acid was found to be more dominant as compared to P3HT.
The modified Langmuir Schaefer technique produced fairly smooth, large area nanocomposite thin films as shown by the AFM
images. A prominent advantage of this procedure is that it requires only small amount of materials.
