Abstract
This paper describes the thermally stimulated currents (TSCs) of acidic (AA) and polyamic acid alkylamine salts (PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The measurements were performed from room temperature to about 250/spl deg/C and the temperature was increased at a rate of 0.02/spl deg/C/s linearly. Peaks of TSCs are observed at about 80/spl deg/C in the arachidic acid LB films and at about 80/spl deg/C and 16/spl deg/C in the PAAS LB films. They indicate that the peak at 80/spl deg/C is resulted from alkyl group, and the other peak at 160/spl deg/C is due to alkyl and C-O group in PAAS molecules. The additional large peak at about 160/spl deg/C is due to dipole moments of the PAAS molecules. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the PAAS and arachidic acid molecules were measured and analyzed.
