Stable monolayer of the polyaniline(PAn) doped with dodecyl benzenesulfonic
acid(DBSA) can form on the pure water surface. The multilayer ultrathin fi
lm can be successfully deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique onto Ca
F2 substrate. The limiting mean molecular area and collapse pressure observ
ed are 0.066 nm(2) and 35 mN m(-1), respectively. The multilayer LB film an
d casting film were all characterized by TR and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopies.
