Qualitative Evaluation of Pyroelectric Mechanisms in Langmuir-blodgett films containing a cyclic polysiloxane substituted with aliphatic side chains using fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy

Alternate layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films containing cyclic polysiloxane substituted with aliphatic side chains alternated with monomeric eicosylamine have been shown to exhibit pyroelectric activity. The pyroelectric activity for 5, 11, 15, 21, 25 and 31 monolayer LB films, is recorded at 21 °C...
