XRD patterns of (a) C18MPS-3.0 and Alq/C18MPS-3.0 and (b) P123MPS-5.4 and Alq/P123MPS-5.4 films (insets: the magnified patterns at 2θ = 3.25–8.25° regions). The Alq/C18MPS-3.0 and Alq/P123MPS-5.4 films with the adsorbed amounts of Alq at 267 and 117 μmol/(g of MPS) were evaluated by (c, d) photographs and (e, f) AFM topographic images (observation area: 5.0 μm2).
