Monolayer Formation of Cationic Polymer Particles on Hydrophobic Solid Substrates in Aqueous System

Monodispersed cationic polymer particles bearing quaternary ammonium groups on their surfaces were well self-organized through hydrophobic interaction on hydrophobically modified glass plates in aqueous system. We could fabricate the particle monolayer of close-packed structure with a relatively regular interval by tuning hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance of particles and temperature.
