Abstract
Langmuir films and Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers based on fatty acid (stearic acid, barium stearate) mixed with carbon nanotubes have been prepared and investigated by isothermal compression (for Langmuir films) and X-ray diffraction (for Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers). An irreversible modification has been observed in the case of Langmuir films doped by carbon nanotubes, due to reordering of the nanotubes in the film matrix.
