Sistemas híbridos orgánicos-inorgánicos en films de Langmuir-Blodgett

2002

ÉCe travail porte sur la formation et la caractérisation de nouveaux systèmes organiques-inorganiques par l'utilisation de films de Langmuir et de la technique de Langmuir-Blodgett. Plusieurs voies ont ainsi été explorées afin d'obtenir des films minces hybrides aux propriétés multiples, en particulier magnétiques. L'utilisation de l'interaction entre monocouches cationiques et des anions présents en sous-phase a ainsi permis l'organisation de différents polyanions inorganiques en structure lamellaire. Cette stratégie a ensuite été généralisée au cas de colloïdes de Bleu de Prusse, composés bimétalliques étendus. Une large étude (de la préparation à la caractérisation) a été consacrée à ces…

Polysarcosine-Based Lipids: From Lipopolypeptoid Micelles to Stealth-Like Lipids in Langmuir Blodgett Monolayers.

2016

Amphiphiles and, in particular, PEGylated lipids or alkyl ethers represent an important class of non-ionic surfactants and have become key ingredients for long-circulating (“stealth”) liposomes. While poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG) can be considered the gold standard for stealth-like materials, it is known to be neither a bio-based nor biodegradable material. In contrast to PEG, polysarcosine (PSar) is based on the endogenous amino acid sarcosine (N-methylated glycine), but has also demonstrated stealth-like properties in vitro, as well as in vivo. In this respect, we report on the synthesis and characterization of polysarcosine based lipids with C14 and C18 hydrocarbon chains and their end g…

The Jäntti approach to adsorption with increasing gas pressure

2002

Jäntti introduced a method of calculating equilibrium adsorption from measurements where the pressure of the gas was varied in a stepwise manner. His aim was to shorten the time necessary for a given measurement. The method was applied to gas/solid systems in which simple adsorption processes occurred and where the number of adsorption sites was infinite. The present paper discusses the case where no adsorption is possible on an already occupied site (Langmuir isotherm) while the number of positions available for adsorption is considered limited. The advantages of using a gas pressure that increases linearly with time are evident for studies with this limitation. It is shown that such meas…

Second harmonic ac polarography of strongly adsorbed electroactive species

1981

Abstract The second harmonic ac current is calculated for the case of a quasi-reversible surface redox system: both species are strongly adsorbed according to a Langmuir isotherm and the kinetics of the process are controlled by the electron transfer. The current is measured with a phase-sensitive detector and the variation of the in-phase and quadrature components vs. the frequency leads to the surface rate constant ks. The experimental results obtained for benzo-(c)cinnoline are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions and with the results of impedance measurements. The advantages of the two methods are compared.
