Abstract
The chemical synthesis of TiO2 thin films on mixed self-assembly monolayers (SAMs) is reported. The mixed SAMs with different ratios of -SH and -SO3H groups were obtained when oxidized in H2O2/HOAc solution for various limes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrated various growing modes of thin f ilms that may be induced by -SH or other oxide states of sulfur groups in t he mixed self-assembly monolayers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) r esults illustrated that different oxidation states of titanium exist in the TiO2 films on the mixed SAMs. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights re served.
