Nucleation and Growth of Vapor-Deposited Metal Films on Self-Assembled Monolayers Studied by Multiple Characterization Probes

  • Chapter
Metallization of Polymers 2

Abstract

The underlying chemistry of the interaction of metal atoms with organic thin films and polymer surfaces has important implications in many areas of science and technology but uncovering critical details of the mechanisms has been difficult, primarily because of the lack of well-defined organic surfaces. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)1–3 can now provide an approach to overcoming this problem.4–15 However, in order to fully utilize these precision surfaces it is also necessary to utilize combinations of surface science techniques that can reveal information about both the nature of the metal atoms and the organic surface chemistry and structure.
