[22p-P13-17] TEM Observation of Diamond Nanoparticle Thin Films Adsorbed on SAMs
Keywords:self-assembled monolayer, diamond nanoparticle
In order to apply diamond to organic devices, diamond thin film was prepared by adsorbing diamond nanoparticles (DNP) on the surface of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). VTMS-SAM was deposited on a substrate using vinyl-terminated VTMS as the material, and oxidized to obtain carboxy-terminated ox-VTMS-SAM. ox-VTMS-SAM was immersed in an aqueous dispersion of DNPs to adsorb DNPs on ox-VTMS-SAM, and samples were prepared. Cross-sectional observation of the sample by TEM revealed a DNP layer with a thickness of about 40 nm.
