Abstract
We constructed a multiparticle layered organization of aromatic polyamides with rigid main chains and flexible side chains by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, which resulted in a highly regular arrangement along the c-axis. The particle arrangement was estimated by performing out-of-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and atomic force microscopic (AFM) observation. The results suggest that a double-particle layered structure (Y-type) is formed by the LB technique, forming amphiphilic particles at the air/water interface. Copolymers with highly hydrophobic carbazole contents and both hydrogenated and fluorinated side-chains also formed a single-particle layer at the air/water interface and exhibited multiparticle layers by a LB technique. Therefore, it is possible to control the formation of single- and double-particle layered structure using these techniques. Further, it was found that multiparticle layered organization of polymer nanospheres and polymer nanosheets could be formed simultaneously with the same component material.
