Abstract (EN)

Having conducted the research described in this thesis I found that there exists a possibility to produce polyelectrolyte nanostructures on hydrophobic surfaces by application of the moving contact line approach. It was demonstrated that the morphology of nanostructures displays a range of structure variations from root-like to a single wire structure with a high anisotropy and aspect ratio (providing diameters of several nanometers and the length limited by the sample surface dimensions). Such nanostructures can be produced exactly on the spot of interest or can be transferred from the surface where they were produced to any other surfaces by the contact printing technique. A model describing the polymer deposition during the moving contact line processes on hydrophobic surfaces has been proposed. The application of this model provides the ground for an explanation of all the obtained experimental data. Utilizing moving contact line approach aligned one-dimensional polycation structures were fabricated and these structures were used as templates for assembling amphiphile molecules. Quasiperiodic aligned and oriented nanostructures of polyelectrolyte molecules formed in moving droplets were utilized for fabrication of electrically conductive one-dimensional nanowires.
