General description

Octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) is used as a self-assembled monolayer that forms a surfactant which strongly bonds with the surface atoms of different metal oxides. It provides hydrophobic properties and covers a higher surface area than the predominantly used silanes.

Application

Anti-corrosive coatings on cupronickel (CuNi) can be formed by fabricating a protective film of OPA by dip coating method. OPA may be used in the preparation of indium oxide(In2O3) nanowire transistor than can find potential application in the growth of fast switching and low noise nano-electronic devices. It may be used for self-cleaning and oil/water separation based applications as it forms a superhydrophobic layer on the copper mesh.

There is widespread demand for thin, lightweight, and flexible electronic devices such as displays, sensors, actuators, and radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs). Flexibility is necessary for scalability, portability, and mechanical robustness.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have attracted enormous interest for a wide variety of applications in micro- and nano-technology. In this article, we compare the benefits of three different classes of SAM systems (alkylthiolates on gold).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
