Monolayer film of polyamic acid alkylamine salt at air–water interface was successfully deposited onto appropriate plates. Subsequent treatment of the multilayer film with a mixture of acetic anhydride and pyridine afforded the multilayer film of polyimide. The distance between two layers of the polyimide multilayer film was estimated to be 4 Å.
Thin films of polyamic acid alkylamine salts which possess long alkyl side chain were successfully prepared at air–water interface. It was concluded that the polymer salts had a monolayer structure in which aromatic rings of the polyamic acids lied flat on the water surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
