Abstract

Novel composite films with a monolayer of organic molecules included between single molecular layers of MoS2 can be prepared with a recently described technique. Styrene-included MoS2, before and after polymerization, is discussed as an example that exhibits interesting properties. The sensitivity to humidity of the styrene-included MoS2 system is monitored in situ with x-ray diffraction where reversible incorporation and removal of water molecules are observed. Films with an anisotropy of electrical conductivity of about 108 are obtained by polymerizing the monomer between the layers.
