Introduction to Ultrathin Organic Films From Langmuir-Blodgett to Self-Assembly

This book provides a complete overview of the preparation methods for both Langmuir--Blodgett and self-assembling films and compares their relative virtues. To address the needs of a rapidly growing field, this book includes a massive survey of the literature as well as sections devoted to analytical tools and experimental problems, the modeling of LB and SA monolayers, and specific applications. Ultrathin organic films are now used in the development of photoconductors, sensors, coatings, optical fibers, and insulating layers, as well as other electrical, optical, and magnetic devices. This timely and comprehensive book will be an invaluable reference for students and researchers alike.Ulman, Abraham is the author of 'Introduction to Ultrathin Organic Films From Langmuir-Blodgett to Self-Assembly' with ISBN 9780127082301 and ISBN 0127082301.
