Fabrication of Mixed Monolayer of Biodegradable Polymers and Organo-modified Montmorillonite

抄録

We investigated formation of ultrathin hybrid films composed of a biodegradable polymers (ex. poly(ethylene succinate), poly(L-lactide), and poly(ε-caprolactone)) and organo-modified montmorillonite nanosheet at an air/water interface. When a chloroform solution of the biodegradable polymer was spread onto a surface of an pure water in a Langmuir trough, a mixed monolayer of biodegradable polymer was formed by hybridization with the clay nanosheets at the air/water interface. These results indicated that some ammonium cations spread onto the clay suspension were dissolved into the aqueous subphase before the hybridization with the clay nanosheets. The hybrid monolayers were transferred onto a mica substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett method to form a mixed monolayer. Interestingly, the densities of dimethyl dioctadecyl (DMDO) ammonium determined by the thermogravimetric analysis were constant in the hybrid multilayers prepared from the clay suspensions at the same concentration, regardless of the concentrations of the amphiphilic ammonium salt solutions. Out-of plane and in-plane XRD profiles of the films showed that the cations of DMDO would lie down on the clay layer in the hybrid film.
