Abstract
Abstract Long-chain carboxylic acids, having oxiran groups at various positions along the chain, were synthesized and tested for their capacity to form ordered monolayers and multilayers. The oxiran groups were included because of their potential for polymerization during electron beam lithography. The hydrophilic nature of both the carboxylic acid and the oxiran groups in the same molecule afforded some difficulties in film formation, but one of these compounds provided stable monolayers and multilayers. Initial investigations have revealed that these multilayers are sensitive to electron beam polymerization.
