Abstract

$TiO_2$ thin films consisting of positively charged poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and negatively charged titanium (IV) bis (ammonium lactato) dihydroxide (TALH) were successfully fabricated on a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly method. By the measurement of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), it was found that as the solution pH of TALH decreased, the deposition volume of TALH increased and the thickness of (PDDA/TALH) thin film coated on the surface of PMMA particles increased. The PMMA particles coated with the coating sequence of (PDDA/TALH)n showed the variation of color changes as a function of the number of bilayer. The number of bilayer (n) of (PDDA/TALH) thin films was 10 and 20, the values of $a^*$ and $b^*$ decreased from those of PMMA particles without coating films and the color changes was shifted to green and blue direction in the $a^*$, $b^*$ chromaticity diagram. And then, the number of n increased to 30 and 40, the values of $a^*$ and $b^*$ increased and the color changes was shifted to red and yellow direction, respectively. Finally the PMMA particles coated with $(PDDA/TALH)_{50}$ thin film showed a little same value of $a^*$ and $b^*$ with the PMMA particles without (PDDA/TALH) thin film.

PMMA 입자의 표면에 양전하를 갖는 전해질 폴리머 PDDA와 음전하를 갖는TALH를 사용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막을 LBL 법에 의해 성공적으로 제조하였다. 수정진동자의 측정을 통해 TALH의 용액의 pH가 감소됨에 따라 TALH의 적층량이 늘어나고 PMMA의 입자 표면에 코팅된 (PDDA/TALH) 박막의 두께가 증가됨을 확인하였다. (PDDA/TALH)n의 순서에 의해 코팅된 PMMA 입자들은 bilayer 수의 변화에 따라 다양한 색 변화를 보여주었다. (PDDA/TALH) 박막의 bilayer 수(n)가 10과 20 일 경우에 $a^*$$b^*$의 값은 막이 코팅되지 않은 PMMA의 값보다 감소하였고 색 변화는 $a^*$, $b^*$ 색도도에서 각각 green과 blue 방향으로 이동하였다. 이후 n의 수가 30, 40으로 증가됨에 따라 $a^*$$b^*$의 값은 증가하였고 색의 변화는 red와 yellow 방향으로 각각 이동하였다. 최종적으로 $(PDDA/TALH)_{50}$ 박막이 코팅된 PMMA 입자들은 박막이 코팅되지 않은 PMMA 입자들과 거의 비슷한 $a^*$$b^*$의 값을 보여주었다.
