SELF-ASSEMBLED MULTILAYER FILMS OF FULLERENE-DIAMINODODECANE ON (MEO)SI(CH3)(2)(CH2)(4)NH2-MODIFIED OXIDE SURFACES

The multilayer film of self-assembled fullerene-diaminododecane (DAD) were prepared on 4-aminobutyldimethylmethoxysilane (ABS)-modified plan ar Si oxide, quartz and nonplanar fumed silica (Cab-O-Sil) surfaces by a novel approach. FTIR, UV, and ellipsometry was used to characterize the formed films. The film growth was observed indirectly by several data, but the structure of C-60-DAD multilayer films is not clearly de termined yet. The formation of the C-60-DAD layer on ABS-modified Cab- O-Sil surface is slow and strongly depends on the packing density of i nitially anchored ABS-fullerene monolayer as compared planar substrate .
