ABSTRACT
Cans used for beer, soft drinks, and other drinks are made from aluminum or steel. In order to avoide corrosion by the contents of the can, the inner side is coated with polymers. The importance of studies on Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film arises not only because of theoretical interest in its well-defined struture but also because of proposal regarding the possibility of developing molecular electronic devices from well-ordered organic compounds, whereby the technique of LB film formation is the best suited. Difference spectra between infrared external reflection spectroscopy spectra taken from the silica with LB film and the reference silica were calculated in order to isolate the spectral features of the LB film from the silica spectrum. The epoxide layer, which is the magnetic layer, is coated with a thin film of fluorocarbon-type lubricant to protect the magnetic layer from touch-down damage due to a reading device.
