A. Bolognesi et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LY[3-(6-TETRAHYDROPYRANILOXYHEXYL)]-2,5-THIENYLENE LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILMS, Thin solid films, 289(1-2), 1996, pp. 129-132
The introduction of polar groups in poly(3-alkylthiophene) side chains
has the advantage of producing polymers giving stable and transferabl
e monolayers on the water surface. Poly [3-(6-tetrahydropyraniloxyhexy
l)]-2,5-thienylene can be transferred onto glass slides giving Langmui
r-Blodgett structures exhibiting high orientation in the dipping direc
tion. Dichroic ratios up to 5.3 were observed with an order parameter
of 0.68.
