Abstract

ABSTRACTPerylene (PYL) mixed with Behenic acid (BA) and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) separately have been incorporated in the Langmuir-Blodgett film. The surface pressure versus area per molecule area isotherms are measured at various molar ratios. Stability of the mixed monolayer of PYL and BA/PMMA and their collapse pressure are much higher than that of pure PYL. Negligible amount of hysteresis observed in the compression-decompression isotherms indicate the formation of stable monolayer. Miscibility of the mixed systems is found to vary with the film composition. The formation of PYL aggregates in the mixed films is investigated using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
