Abstract
In recent decades, considerable attention has been focused on the design and development of surfaces with defined or tunable properties for a wide range of applications and fields. To this end, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic compounds offer a unique and straightforward route of modifying and engineering the surface properties of any substrate. Thus, alkane-based self-assembled monolayers constitute one of the most extensively studied organic thin-film nanomaterials, which have found wide application in antifouling surfaces, control of wettability or cell adhesion, sensors, optical devices, corrosion protection, organic electronics, among many other applications. Some of which have led technological transfer to industry. Nevertheless, recently, aromatic-based SAMs have gained in importance as functional components, particularly in molecular electronics, bioelectronics, sensors, etc., due to their intrinsic electrical conductivity and optical properties, opening up new perspectives in these fields. However, some key issues affecting device performances still need to be lifted off to ensure their full use and access to novel functionalities such as memories, sensors, or active layers in optoelectronic devices. In this context, we will present herein recent advances of p-conjugated systems-based self-assembled monolayers (e.g., push-pull chromophores) as active layer and their applications.
