Abstract

A C₆₀ derivatized triarm poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer was synthesized and characterized. The soluble polymer produced spread at aqueous interfaces to form highly expanded fluid Langmuir monolayers. The onset area of 1300 Å²/arm is likely due to the polymer disrupting cohesion between C₆₀ units. Compression/expansion studies revealed a significant elastic region, beyond which the C₆₀ units condensed, and a compact rigid and irreversible monolayer formed.
