    Two-dimensional functional polymer systems have been obtained for the first time based on an epoxy oligomer and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen). The effect of UV radiation on the efficiency of polymerization in the system has been studied. The morphology of polymer materials formed on the liquid surface as a result of thermo- and UV-induced polymerization has been studied. It has been shown that a polymer Langmuir monolayer based on an epoxy oligomer-cyclen mixture can be used as a sensor for copper ions, and the conditions for the system regeneration have been determined. Changes in the pH of the subphase have been established as causing structural rearrangements in the polymer monolayer, which lead to changes in the optical properties of the latter.
