We have obtained the bilayer spacing of both these materials by X-ray diffraction and have also studied the in-plane structure of these materials by means of grazing incidence diffraction (GID). Computer modelling was used to interpret the results obtained. For the perfluorododecanoic acid, we find two stable untwisted phases at 25°C and a combination of these two predicts both the Bragg peaks arising from the layer structure and the GID results. Our experimental results show that the perfluorotetradecanoic acid exists in the generally accepted helical structure. Computer modelling leads to the conclusion that closely packed perfluorinated chains with 12 or less carbon atoms should exist in an untwisted state while molecules having more than 12 carbon atoms show the onset of the helical conformation.}, language = {en} } @article{PapraPenacoradaReicheetal.1997, author = {Papra, Alex and Penacorada, Florencio and Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Katholy, Stefan and Brehmer, Ludwig and Hicke, Hans-Georg}, title = {Structure and Stability of Langmuir Monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett Films of Bisaroyl Azide Bolaamphiphiles}, year = {1997}, abstract = {Langmuir-Blodgett films of bolaamphiphiles with reactive head groups can be used for the surface modification of composite membranes for gas separation processes. The scope of our investigations was to get a detailed insight in the monolayer behaviour and LB film structure of previously synthesized bisaroyl azide bolaamphiphiles. The layers have been analyses by means of surface potential measurements and Brewster angle microscopy. Furthermore parameters for a successful LB Film deposition were found. As expected for a molecule with two hydrophilic ends the transfer ratio on upstroke was close to one and on downstroke no transfer occurred. The multilayer structure was analysed by scanning force microscopy and X-ray reflectivity measurements. The SFM images revealed a periodic in plane structure on molecular level. Based on a combination of the X-ray data with results of other methods two possible models of the multilayer structure are presented}, language = {en} } @article{PenacoradaAngelovaKamusewitzetal.1995, author = {Penacorada, Florencio and Angelova, Angelina and Kamusewitz, Helmut and Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Scanning Force Microscopy and Wetting study of the Surface Modification of a Polypropylene Mambrane by Means of Langmuir-Blodgett Film Deposition}, year = {1995}, abstract = {Polypropylene membranes with deposited ultrathin "siin" layers are attractive for separation and cleaning of gaseous mixtures. In the present study, the surface morphology and wetting hysteresis of composite membranes consisting of a microporous polypropylene support and Langmuir-Blodgett ("skin") films, are investigated. The effect of the interlayer molecular interactions and the substrate features on the integrity and homogeneity of the "skin" layers is examined. Langmuir-Blodgett films of arachidic acid and cadmium and calcium arachidate are characterized both on smooth silicon and on porous polypropylene supports. Contact angle measurements and scanning force microscopy (SFM) are applied for investigations of the membrane surface modification upon transfer of a different number of monolayers. It was found that the contact angle hysteresis of the bare membrane decreases after the LB-deposition of close-packed monolayers. Smoothing of the membrane surface is also evidenced by the SFM images, on different length scales, confirming a good coverage of the membrane pores.}, language = {en} } @article{PenacoradaDietelReicheetal.1995, author = {Penacorada, Florencio and Dietel, Reinhard and Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Zetzsche, Thomas and Knobloch, Harald and Katholy, Stefan and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Studium des Einflusses von Uranyl-Gegenionen auf die Struktur von Langmuir- und Langmuir-Blodgett Filmen der Arachins{\"a}ure}, year = {1995}, language = {de} }
