Formation of mesostructured thin films at the air/water interface

摘要: Mesostructured thin films are known to form at the interface between either air or a solid surface and dilute acidic solution containing silica precursor, surfactant template. These transparent, and, when grown air/solution interface, self-supporting. We have been studying formation processes of these try understand thus control both mesoscale macroscale structure. The characterised using variety in situ methods including X-ray reflectivity techniques Brewster angle microscopy, study large small scale structure development processes. As result our investigations we suggested coacervation driven mechanism for film growth application this understanding now drives further films. Here present results concerning effect headgroup type, counterions on well-organised mesostructures, also macroscopic characteristics.
