Importance of LB film studies.

•Uniform deposition of the monolayer over large areas •Multilayer structures with varying layer composition •Assembly of individual molecules into 2D & 3D systems •Hetero structured multilayer film consisting of various molecules •Control of film structure & monolayer thickness at the molecular level •Almost any kind of solid substrate can be used •Unique blend of Physics, chemistry & molecular engineering •Understanding of structure - property relations
