Abstract

We report on the organization of different disperse red dye derivatized methacrylate homo- and copolymers as Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface. The monolayers were investigated using surface pressure and surface potential isotherms. Methacrylic homopolymers containing disperse red-1 (HPDR1) and disperse red-13 (HPDR13) and methacrylic copolymers with different mole percentages of the dye and hydroxyethyl spacer groups were synthesized and characterized. A comparison of the monolayer characteristics of HPDR1 and HPDR13 revealed the influence of the chlorine substitution in the aromatic ring of the dye. Studies with copolymers indicated a clear transition in the monolayer behavior with the change of mole percentage of the dye incorporated in the polymer. While copolymers with low dye content (up to about 5 mole%) presented an expanded monolayer, the copolymers containing higher dye content (12% and above) formed a condensed monolayer similar to that of the homopolymer. These results indicated the critical role of the dye component in the polymer chain in forming the monolayer at the air-water interface.
