Langmuir–Blodgett films of a water-soluble polysilane based on interfacial polyion complexation
Abstract
Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of a water soluble cationic polysilane are successfully prepared by ion-complexation with an arachidic acid monolayer at the air–water interface; UV absorption characteristics of the LB films are dependent on the pH of the water subphase on transfer.
