This amphiphilic polymer can form stable liquid-condensed monolayer and be transferred as Z-type polymeric LB films. This LB film combines the order and mobility and it has a well-estab- lished layer structure and azo chromphore is in an isotropic state in each layer. Optical birefringence and dichroism can be laser induced and erased and this reversible birefringence and dichroism can be cycled many times without appearance of any fatigue and show a very good stability. On the basis of photo-induced optical blrefringence and dichroism, it is greatly anticipated that this polymer thin films bearing azo groups can be used as advanced materialsfor optical information storage.展开更多

There fore, we used carboxylized phenyl-capped polyaniline tetramer (PCAT) as the functional component and silica as the carrier to prepare PCAT/silica composite nano-particles (= 60 nm) with a structure of core-shell. The functionalized particles were two-dimensionally arrayed on substrates such as silicon, glass and ITO glass at pH 3.SEM and AFM results proved the arraying regularity of these particles under any given conditions, and the electrostatic force microscopy showed their response to +3 V bias applied.展开更多
