ASSEMBLY OF POLYTHIOPHENE DERIVATIVE ON A SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYER (SAM)

摘要

A method for obtaining solid-state devices, through the deposition of monolayers of polythiophenes with the use of amine-bearing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), a strong complex being formed between the remaining sulfonic acid groups with adequately chosen substituents. Functionalized electroactive substrates can be easily obtained which can be used to carry out a variety of subsequent reactions and can display interesting recognition for field-responsive features. This methodology based on supramolecular polymeric assemblies can find many applications in the areas of sensors, diagnostics, therapeutics and drug screening.
