Abstract
Organic semiconductor devices with low energy consumption and excellent stability are highly desirable. Controlling the intermolecular alignment orientation by designing the molecular structure or optimization of the film preparation process is an alternative way to achieve this goal. In this paper, a new idea was proposed to realize the formation of an aligned monomolecular layer and multimolecular layer thin films on the electrode substrate by controlling the surface pressure of molecular layer on the liquid surface by LB technology. An amphiphilic π-conjugated D-A molecule was synthesized, and the influence of spin coating and LB technology on intermolecular ordered stacking in the film and the electrical memory performance were investigated. The results demonstrated that the film fabricated by LB technology has some advantages compared with that fabricated by spin-coating method, such as higher crystallinity, lower surface roughness and better-organized monomolecular and multimolecular layer, which significantly promoted the performance of the electrical memory device with lower power consumption and longer stability.

Abstract
Initially developed for classic systems composed of fatty acids and phospholipids, the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques allow the fabrication of nanometer-scale devices at self-assembly interfaces with high control over the thickness and molecular architecture. Their application in the research and production of new plastic materials has grown considerably over the past few decades due to the efficiency of conjugated polymers (CPs) for the production of light-emitting diodes, flexible displays, solar cells, and other photoelectronic devices. The structuring of polymers at different interfaces is not trivial as this class of macromolecules can undergo through different processes of folding/unfolding, which hinders the formation of stable Langmuir monolayers and, consequently, the production of Langmuir-Blodgett films. With these ideas in mind, the present article aims to review a series of elements related to the formation of stable Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of CPs, especially those based on poly(phenylene vinylene)s, polyfluorenes, and polythiophenes. This review is divided into two parts where we first discuss the formation of neat CP films, and then the strategies for the formation of stable CP films based on the co-immobilization with fatty acids, other polymers, and enzymes as mixed films.

Abstract
In this work, the copolymer poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-co-(3-hexylthiophene)] was employed as a matrix for immobilizing phytase, aiming at the detection of phytic acid. The copolymer was spread on the air-water interface forming Langmuir monolayers and phytase adsorbed from the aqueous subphase. The interactions between the copolymer and the enzyme components were investigated with surface pressure and surface potential-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, and polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS). The enzyme could be incorporated in the monolayers from the aqueous subphase, expanding the copolymer films and maintaining its secondary structure. The polymeric films presented a morphological heterogeneous pattern at the air-water interface because of the ability of their chains to fold and entangle, causing inherent defects in the organization as well as unbalanced lateral distribution at the air-water interface because of the formation of aggregates. The interfacial films were transferred to solid supports as Langmuir-Blodgett films and characterized by PM-IRRAS and scanning electronic microscopy, which showed not only the co-transfer of the enzyme but also the maintenance of their heterogeneous morphological pattern. The enzymatic activity of the blended film was analyzed by UV-vis spectroscopy and allowed the estimation of the value of the Michaelis constant (13.08 mM), demonstrating the feasibility of the system to selectively detect phytic acid for biosensing purposes.

Abstract
The structure of enzymes must be conserved when incorporated in nanoelectronic devices because their activity determines the function of the device as sensors. Among the systems that can retain their conformational structures, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films can be useful to exploit the construction of bioelectronic devices organized at the molecular level because biological and polymeric materials can be coupled as ultrathin films for biosensors and actuators. In this paper, we immobilized a β-galactosidase enzyme in the LB films of stearic acid and the conjugated polymer poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorene)- co-thiophene]. After the characterization of the floating films using tensiometry, vibrational spectroscopy, and Brewster angle microscopy, they were transferred to solid supports as LB films, and the catalytic activity of the enzyme could be preserved as analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy. We noted that the presence of a supramolecular structure formed in the LB films not only conserved the enzyme activity but also exhibited regular and distinctive output signals in all molecular architectures employed in this work. These results are related to the synergism between the compounds on the active layer associated with a surface morphology that facilitated the analyte diffusion because of an adequate molecular accommodation of all components. This work then demonstrates the viability of employing LB films composed of lipids, enzymes, and synthetic polymers as devices for biosensing applications.

Abstract
The control of molecular architectures may be essential to optimize materials properties for producing luminescent devices from polymers, especially in the blue region of the spectrum. In this Article, we report on the fabrication of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of polyfluorene copolymers mixed with the phospholipid dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid (DMPA). The copolymers poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-co-phenylene (copolymer 1) and poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-co-quaterphenylene) (copolymer 2) were synthesized via Suzuki reaction. Copolymer 1 could not form a monolayer on its own, but it yielded stable films when mixed with DMPA. In contrast, Langmuir monolayers could be formed from either the neat copolymer 2 or when mixed with DMPA. The surface pressure and surface potential measurements, in addition to Brewster angle microscopy, indicated that DMPA provided a suitable matrix for copolymer 1 to form a stable Langmuir film, amenable to transfer as LB films, while enhancing the ability of copolymer 2 to form LB films with enhanced emission, as indicated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Because a high emission was obtained with the mixed LB films and since the molecular-level interactions between the film components can be tuned by changing the experimental conditions to allow for further optimization, one may envisage applications of these films in optical devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Abstract
The excited-state dynamics of two polyfluorene copolymers, one fully conjugated containing phenylene vinylene units alternated with 9,9'-dihexylfluorenyl groups and the other segmented by -(CH2)8- spacer, were studied in dilute solution of different solvents using a picosecond single-photon timing technique. The excited-state dynamics of the segmented copolymer follows the Förster resonant energy-transfer model which describes intrachain energy-transfer kinetics among random oriented chromophores. Energy transfer is confirmed by analysis of fluorescence anisotropy relaxation with the measurement of a short decay component of about 60 ps. The fluorescence decay surface of the fully conjugated copolymer is biexponential with decay times of about 470 and 900 ps, ascribed to deactivation of chain moieties containing trans and cis isomers already in a photostationary condition. Thus, energy transfer is very fast due to the conjugated nature and rigid-rod-like structure of this copolymer chain.
