A review on nano clay platelets and micellar-induced controlling of molecular aggregates in langmuir blodgett film
摘要
The photophysical properties of molecular dyes within the restricted environment of ‘ultra-thin films’ differ from those observed in solution and/or solid states. In ultra-thin films, various types of aggregations form, leading to a reduction in the fluorescence intensity of dye molecules, which posses a significant challenge for device applications. This review article studies the impact of nano-clay platelets and micellar surfactants in aggregation control of dye molecules in ‘ultra-thin films’ produced by ‘Langmuir–Blodgett technique’. This is aimimg for enhancing the fluorescence efficiency of organic dyes.
