From Book News, Inc.
Monomolecular assemblies on substrates, now termed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, studied for over half a century, are now at the center of a wave of research activity because of possible applications in electronics. LB films could play some role in replacing inorganic materials in certain areas of application and may indeed make possible entirely novel effects and applications. The contributions here discuss history, molecular structure and monolayer properties, film deposition, characterization and properties, spectroscopy of complex monolayers, potential applications.
