![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Laterally nanostructured adsorbed layers of surfactant/surfmer mixtures before and after polymerisation Laterally nanostructured adsorbed layers of surfactant/surfmer mixtures before and after polymerisation](/preview/png/611003.png)
The adsorbed layer structure of mixed films of the polymerisable cationic surfactant dodecyldimethyl(ethylmethacrylate)ammonium bromide (MEDDAB) with the cationic and non-ionic surfactants dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether (C12E23) has been investigated by AFM soft-contact imaging before and after solution polymerisation of MEDDAB. MEDDAB alone adsorbs on mica as a planar bilayer, but the adsorbed layer structure can be modified by mixing with DTAB or C12E23 to yield an adsorbed mesh or cylinders. The equilibrium adsorbed film structure after solution polymerisation of the methacrylate group on MEDDAB was found to depend on the solubilising ability of the non-polymerisable surfactant. C12E23 effectively prevented precipitation of polymerised MEDDAB, retaining the unpolymerised adsorbed layer structure, whereas DTAB mixtures became cloudy above 23 mol% MEDDAB. The resultant structure remained similar to the adsorbed rods formed prior to polymerisation, but had a diameter several times larger.
