Abstract
A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is fabricated using either a semi-fluorinated sulphur containing compound, or a sem-fluorinated silane derivative and compressed carbon dioxide (CO) as the solvent medium. The temperature and/or pressure of the compressed COmay be varied during the fabrication process to improve the molecular packing density of the monolayer. By using compressed COas the solvent medium, monolayers with good molecular packing density can be fabricated relatively quickly without the use of environmentally unfriendly solvents.
