Nanowire formation in two-component-mixed Langmuir-Blodgett films of fatty acid and silane-coupling agent
We have found the formation of nanowires in two-component-mixed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of fatty acid and silane-coupling agent for the first time. The phase-separated structures of the mixed LB films were controlled by adjusting intermolecular interactions. The size and shape of the domains were explained by considering two competing interactions of line tension and dipole-dipole interaction.
