Monolayer dispersion systems displaying

We have extended our investigation to a great many systems of oxides and salts on supports with highly specific surfaces (II-14, 18-21). They all display the phenomenon of spontaneous monolayer dispersion. In Table I these systems are given along with the temperature and the period of time for a suitable heat treatment. 

The use of ordered supramolecular assemblies, such as micelles, monolayers, vesicles, inverted micelles, and lyotropic liquid crystalline systems, allows for the controlled nucleation of inorganic materials on molecular templates with well-defined structure and surface chemistry. Poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long aliphatic chains are a new class of amphiphiles which display a variety of aggregation states due to their conformational flexibility [38]. In the presence of octadecylamine, poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long alkyl chains self-assemble to form remarkably rigid and well-defined aggregates. When the aggregate dispersion was injected into a supersaturated...
