Abstract
The method of variable angle x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been applied to transferred monolayers of a new cellulose derivative. The results support a model for the monolayer in which the cellulose backb one lies flat on the substrate and the sidechains extend perpendicular to the surface. Furthermore, a significant portion of the substrate s urface is found to be bare, indicating that the transferred monolayer contains major defects in the form of holes.
