The Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) technique was employed to fabricate the monolayers and bilayers of nanosized beta (nano-beta) crystals, and the monolayers of micrometer-sized beta (micro-beta) crystals on various substrates including glass plate, alpha-alumina disk, glass capillary tube, copper wire, stainless-steel tube and g-Al2O3 tube. With respect to the methanol suspension of 1 wt.% nano-beta modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a two-region surface pressure-area isotherm was obtained, leading to the formation of both nano-beta monolayers and bilayers with satisfactory degree of coverage (DOC) and close packing (DCP) under each transfer surface pressure. When nano-beta crystals were dealuminated, the surface pressure-area relation was reduced to the one-region isotherm, and the resulting L-B film contained aggregated areas. As for the assembly of micro-beta crystals, both methanol and sec-butanol were used as the dispersant. The resulting micro-beta monolayer was randomly oriented with the sedimentation of large truncated-square-bipyramid crystals on compression by using the methanol suspension. The use of sec-butanol as the dispersant resulted in the enhanced hydrophobicity of micro-beta crystals due to the chemical reaction of sec-butanol molecules with surface silanols, leading to the formation of c-oriented micro-beta monolayers over various substrates, and simultaneously the sedimentation of large truncated-square-bipyramid crystals did not occur. Under the structure direction of the c-oriented micro-beta monolayer in the seeded growth, the dense and preferentially c-oriented zeolite beta film could be fabricated, which could not be formed on either the nanobeta monolayer or the micro-beta monolayer with random orientation. Therefore, it would be concluded that the growth of beta crystals over the seed layer could be followed by the epitaxial growth mechanism.
