General description

Hexadecylphosphonic acid (HDPA) is an alkyl phosphonic acid that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) for the surface modification of the metal oxide nanostructures.

Application

HDPA forms a resist on the metal substrate which may be used for microcontact printing. It may also find usage as a SAM for the development of a dielectric hybrid for surface controlled organic transistors.
