T. Saji et K. Ebata, FORMATION OF POLYSTYRENE LATEX THIN-FILMS BY MICELLE DISRUPTION METHOD, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 66(10), 1993, pp. 3091-3093
Polystyrene latex thin films were prepared on an indium tin oxide elec
trode by controlled-potential electrolysis of an aqueous solution cont
aining a nonionic surfactant with a ferrocenyl moiety and dispersed la
tex particles. Thermal treatment rendered the film more transparent, a
nd made the ITO electrode covered with the film inert against electroc
hemical reaction of hexacyanoferrate(II) due to the disappearance of t
he intergranular space in the film.
