Electronic properties of poly(fumarate) Langmuir-Blodgett films

Abstract Poly(fumarate) carrying bulky i -propyl substituents formed stable Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The Al/Al 2 O 3 /LB/Al metal-insulator-metal (MIM) cells exhibited non-linear J-V characteristics, and the MIM cells with more than 5 LB layers were utilizable as large-scale capacitors. However, the magnitude of current density and the capacitance of MIM cells were dependent on the preparation conditions and the atmospheric conditions of measurement. Further studies on ultrathin film preparation by the spin coating method were also reported.
