Preparation of multilayered

From surfactant molecules it is known that the repeated vertical dipping of a substrate through a floating monolayer of these molecules leads to the formation of an LB multilayer on the substrate. In principle, the same procedure should also allow the preparation of multilayers of latex particles. In Figure 8b, the preparation of a particle bilayer is schematically indicated multiple repetition should result in the formation of an LB multilayer of particles. However, if one tries to realize this concept, one immediately gets into difficulties, because the contact of the particles with the underlying substrate is very poor, and the already deposited particle layer tends to detach from the surface when the substrate is dipped into...

A typical method for fabricating multiple complex layers is illustrated in Figure 2.11,12 First, an Au/mica or Au/ITO plate is immersed in a chloroform solution of tpy-AB-SS-AB-tpy (tpy=2,2 6, 2" -terpyridyl), providing Au-S-AB-tpy SAM on the plate. In the case of connecting the Fe(II) ion, the tpy-terminated plate is immersed in 0.1 M Fe(BF4)2 aq or (NH4)2Fe(S04)2 aq to form a metal complex. Subsequently, the metal-terminated surface is immersed in a chloroform solution of the ligand Lj or L2 to form a bis(tpy)iron structure (Fig. 2b). The latter two processes are repeated for the preparation of multilayered bis(tpy)iron (II) complex films with linear structures. When L3 is used instead of Lj or L2, the resulting molecular wires have a dendritic structure (Fig. 2c). 

While preparation of multilayers by the self-assembly method is less straightforward than that by the LB method, it still can be accomplished [11-13], The amphiphilic molecule should have a functionalized terminal group. In order to avoid either uncontrolled multilayer deposition or the simultaneous attachment of both head and terminal groups to the substrate, the terminal group should be protected. After the first monolayer is deposited, the sample should be removed from the solution, the terminal groups should be deprotected and the sample should be returned to the solution for deposition of the second layer. Subsequent deprotections and reimmersions allow one to coat the desired number of layers onto the substrate.

As early as 1980, even before the discovery of the fullerenes, that is, S. lijima reported on the preparation of multilayered, spherical particles of graphitic character. He conceived them to be an sp sp -hybrid material, and his results went largely unnoticed. The structures described then were first interpreted as carbon onions only after the determination of the fuUerenes structure and after D. Ugar-te s finding that particles of fullerene soot may be transformed into multilayered fullerenes by electron irradiation (Figure 4.1). 

Interesting electrical properties are to be expected with the stepwise extension of this TT-system. The preparation of multilayered cyclophanes proved to be laborious [6] nevertheless new synthetic methods in transition metal chemistry of arenes have opened up a promising alternative approach via preparation of multidecker sandwich complexes (structure type D in Fig. 3). First row transition metals like chromium, iron and cobalt [51] form strong coordinative bonds with arenes when their oxidation state is low [48a] whereas second and third row elements like ruthenium, rhodium and iridium are strongly bonded towards arenes in higher oxidation states [48a, 51]. Sandwich complexes of cyclophanes can be divided into two groups ...

The excess amount of material used is removed between steps. The LbL technique is easy to carry out and very versatile. Because of this, a great range of polyelectrolytes, biopolymers (proteins and nucleic acids), lipids, and inorganic particles have been used as building blocks in the preparation of multilayer composite films [64, 65], and in the fabrication of micro- and nanometo-sized capsules, the latter introduced in 1998 by Donath and Caruso [66-68].

An alternative approach concerns the preparation of multilayer films in which each layer has different refractive indexes. Li et al. [107] fabricated multilayers with an increasing refractive index from the top to the bottom of the film. They prepared blends of BCP/homopolymers (PS-b-PMMA/PMMA). They used an octadecyltri-chlorosilane-modified glass substrate, and a mixture of solvents made the PMMA domains form a gradient distribution in the vertical direction of the entire micro-phase-separated film. This unique behavior allows, upon removal of PMMA, to obtain porous PS-based structures with variable porosity in the vertical direction (Fig. 6.17). Later, the authors investigated further the parameters [total degree of polymerization (AO, the volume fraction of the PMMA block (/pmma). the weight percentage of the homopolymer, and the solution concentration] that direct the structure formation and related them with the broadband antireflection properties [108].

The preparation of multilayers based on the same or on different structural units may take advantage of the reactivity of the monolayers and particularly of the tail groups. Different strategies have been adopted as an example, dithiol molecules lead to multilayers thanks to the formation of an S-S bond between molecules on the surface [20-22]. The defects present in a single monolayer are inherited by the monomolecular layer anchored to its tail group. Hence, the degree of order of a multilayer is usually much lower with respect to the first monolayer oti the substrate. In the majority of cases, bi- or tri-layers are prepared, although few hundreds of micron thick multilayers can be also obtained.

A description of the application of ceramic and photopolymer technologies to achieve high-resolution electronic patterns follows. The first section discusses ceramic dielectric vias, and the second, conductive circuitry. Improved photosensitive ceramic coating compositions and more particularly, compositions that function as precursors to fired dielectric ceramics, are mainly useful in preparation of multilayer thick-film substrates.
