Porous Nanonetwork Prepared with the Langmuir-Blodgett LB Technique

Porous Nanonetwork Prepared with the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) Technique 

The 2-D Pt network could be prepared at the air-water interface by using the LB deposition technique [176]. The dispersion phase used was composed of oleic acid-capped Pt nanocrystals in chloroform at a concentration of 1 mg ml . The Pt nanoparticles were spread at the air-water interface in the LB trough, using water as a subphase, due to the hydrophobic nature of the long hain capping agents. However, by compressing the Pt particles onto the AAO porous membrane
