Ordered Melanin Film Fabricated by the Self-Assembly Technique

Abstract:

In the present article, we obtained uniform and rather flat melanin films with the dendrites structure using self-assembly technique on Si substrate. The structure of film was confirmed by Fourier-transformed infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Experimental results showed that the grown on the Si substrate, self-assembly film had oriented quality. Furthermore, according to the results, a model of the secondary structure in the melanin films was also proposed.
