O objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar e reunir o conhecimento a respeito dos complexos de Európio em filmes de Langmuir e Langmuir Blodgett e apresentar o panorama desse contexto. O estudo foi dividido em duas etapas, a ...

In this work, we incorporated the enzyme pectinase into Langmuir monolayers of phospholipid acid dimyristoyl phosphatidic (DMPA) and transferred it to solid supports by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. We also combine ...

We report on the formation of Langmuir films of 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl) 21H,23H-porphine,hereafter named tetrapyridyl porphyrins with distinct central ions (2H(+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Ni(2+)). The films were characterized ...

Low-bandgap conjugated polymers have provided a considerable increase in organic photovoltaic efficiencies, however, an understanding of class-specific nanostructures, necessary to further improve device qualities, remains ...

Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of 16-membered azobenzocrown ether with naphthalene residue were prepared and characterized. The Langmuir monolayers were successfully transferred to form LB films onto solid substrates. ...

In this review we discuss about the immobilization of enzymes in Langmuir-Blodgett films in order to determine the catalytic properties of these biomacromolecules when adsorbed on solid supports. Usually, the conformation ...
