Afm Studies Of Composite 16-mer Polyaniline Langmuir-biodgett (lb) Films

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of composite Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films containing different weight percentages of cadmium stearate and 16-mer polyaniline are investigated. Upon increasing the amount of 16-mer polyaniline content in the composite, large globular structures with higher average roughness could be seen. © 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
