The formation of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) from 2-propanol solutions on hydroxylated α-Al2O3(0001) surfaces was studied in situ and in real time at the solid/liquid interface. Time-resolved vibrational spectra from sum-frequency generation (SFG) of C-H stretching modes revealed contributions from ODPA's alkyl backbone and the terminal methyl group as well as vibrational bands that originated from the presence of 2-propanol molecules at the α-Al2O3 surface. 2-Propanol signatures in SFG spectra decreased during SAM formation. This is due to adsorption of ODPA molecules which trigger desorption of 2-propanol from the α-Al2O3(0001) surface, so that these sites can be occupied by ODPA molecules. SAM formation was studied for different bulk concentrations of ODPA which changed substantially both the quality and the coverage of the final SAM. At initial stages of SAM growth, SFG spectra are dominated by methylene contributions and are indicative for a low molecular order and coverage of ODPA molecules. For concentrations of ODPA ≤2 mM this situation did not change within reasonable adsorption times (∼16 h) while for 5 and 30 mM concentrations a dramatic increase in molecular order and coverage within the first 2 h of adsorption is observed. Thermodynamic analysis using Langmuir adsorption kinetics provided equilibrium constants and the Gibbs free energy of adsorption between -24 and -28 kJ mol-1.

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the transport properties of three polyimides comprising various diamines and dianhydrides. The diamines were 2,8-diamine-4,10-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine (TB1) and 3,9-diamine-4,10-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine (TB2); the dianhydrides were 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA). And the three polyimides were denoted as p-TB1-6FDA, p-TB1-ODPA and p-TB2-6FDA, respectively.

In this study, we have conducted a comparative analysis of the structural ordering of short oligoetherimide chains (dimers) near the bounding surface, depending on the structure of that surface. In order to clarify the possibility of oligoetherimide ordering along the symmetry axes of graphene, two types of bounding surfaces were considered: graphene, with a regular discrete position of interaction centers (carbon atoms), and a smooth, structureless impermeable wall. The chemical structures of the considered dimers consist of two repeating units of BPDA-P3, ODPA-P3, or aBPDA-P3 thermoplastic polyetherimides.

Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D-MoS) have great potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications, but the performances of these devices still face challenges such as scattering at the contact interface, which results in reduced mobility. In this work, we fabricated high-performance MoS-FETs by inserting self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) between MoS and a SiO dielectric layer. The interface properties of MoS/SiO were studied after the inductions of three different SAM structures including (perfluorophenyl)methyl phosphonic acid (PFPA), (4-aminobutyl) phosphonic acid (ABPA), and octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA).

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD), which provides a bottom-up nanofabrication method with atomic-scale precision, has attracted a great deal of attention as a means to alleviate the problems associated with conventional top-down patterning. In this study, we report a methodology for achieving selective deposition of high- dielectrics by surface modification through vapor-phase functionalization of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) inhibitor molecules accompanied by post-surface treatment. A comparative evaluation of deposition selectivity of ZrO thin films deposited with the O and O reactants was performed on SiO, TiN, and W substrates, and we confirmed that high enough deposition selectivity over 10 nm can be achieved even after 200 cycles of ALD with the O reactant.

Graphene oxide (GO) is widely used to improve the pore structure, dispersion capacity, adsorption selectivity, resistance to acids and bases, and thermal stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, it remains a daunting challenge to enhance selectivity simply by modifying the pore surface polarity and producing a suitable pore structure for CO molecules through a combination of GO with MOFs. Herein, we demonstrate a novel porous hyper-cross-linked polyimide-UiO-graphene composite adsorbent for CO capture via in situ chemical knitting and condensation reactions.
