Abstract
A new amphiphilic polymer (monoesters of polymaleic acid containing anthraquinone-azo-naphthalene groups) was designed for Z-type Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. Its monolayer on water was described by means of an intensive discussion of the pressure-area isotherm. Its multilayer conformation on substrates was studied through UV-visible and infrared linear dichroism measurements. Conclusions derived from the π- A isotherm and polarized spectra were demonstrated to be consistent. The multilayer was found to exhibit three-dimensional anisotropy: the two aromatic rings standing up and orienting preferentially with their planes perpendicular to the transfer direction; the azo linkage and hydrocarbon chain normal to the film plane.
