Abstract

The Langmuir-Blodgett method was utilized in the preparation of polyethylene oxide monolayer films on silver-silicon substrates. The effects of end group functionality and molecular weight distribution on the molecular structure of the films were monitored using reflection-absorption Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RA-FTIR) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The differences in the RA-FTIR spectra suggest the existence of different structural conformations caused by the different end group chemistry having different degrees of crystallization.
