Abstract

We have used Brillouin scattering to study the dependence of the elastic constants of uniaxial polymeric Langmuir-Blodgett thin films on the thickness of the polymeric molecule monolayers. With increasing monolayer thickness, an overall decrease in the elastic constants and an increase in the refractive index n33 was observed.
