Characterization and Electrical Properties of Staff-type Polymer Monolayers in Metal-Ion Complex

We investigated the monolayer behavior at the air-water interface with metal solution. the surface morphologies and the electrical properties such as conductivity and dielectric constant. The calculated conductivity a values of pure water subphase and its complexes with Li + ions are 5.6×10 -16 and 1.9×10 -14 [S/cm], respectively, And the calculated barrier height ψ D values of pure water subphase and its complexes with Li + ions are 0.70 and 0.66 [eV], respectively. The difference of monolayer characteristics between the pure water and the metal-ion is attributed to the interactions of the polymers with metal-ions at the air-water interface and the consequent change of the monolayer organization.
