TLDR
The Langmuir trough enables high quality organic layers (Langmuir-Blodgett films) to be deposited onto a variety of substrates as discussed by the authors, including two-dimensional magnetism, integrated and electro-optics, electron beam lithography, biological membranes, charge injection devices and field effect transistors.
Abstract
The Langmuir trough enables high quality organic layers (Langmuir-Blodgett films) to be deposited onto a variety of substrates. This article describes the preparation and characterization of these monolayer and multilayer films and reviews many of their potential applications; these include two-dimensional magnetism, integrated and electro-optics, electron beam lithography, biological membranes, charge injection devices and field-effect transistors.

Mussel-Inspired Surface Chemistry for Multifunctional Coatings

TL;DR: Inspired by the composition of adhesive proteins in mussels, dopamine self-polymerization is used to form thin, surface-adherent polydopamine films onto a wide range of inorganic and organic materials, including noble metals, oxides, polymers, semiconductors, and ceramics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interfaces and thin films as seen by bound electromagnetic waves

TL;DR: An emphasis is put on the combination set-up of surface plasmon optics with electrochemical techniques, allowing for the on-line characterization of various surface functionalization strategies, e.g. for (bio-) sensor purposes.

Films Built by Depositing Successive Monomolecular Layers on a Solid Surface

TL;DR: Arbor as mentioned in this paper showed that xanthone and lluorenone possess new bands in sulfuric acid sohtions which are associated with the stabilization of the quinonoid structure for these compounds.

The mechanism of the surface phenomena of flotation

TL;DR: The theory underlying the flotation process which is important in the separation of ores is discussed in this paper, where the author adopts the view that condensation, crystallization, surface tension, adsorption, etc., are manifestations of forces of the same kind as those involved in the formation of chemical compounds, and explains flotation by reference to these forces.
