Multilayer Thin Films provides a detailed survey on the new technology of adsorption from solution for the fabrication of molecularly ordered multicomposite films in order to replace and expand on the well known Langmuir-Blodgett technology and to open the field of molecular self-assembly to materials and biosciences.
Multilayer Thin Films presents the technique of layer-by-layer assembly as today's most powerful key technology, which is low cost, solution based and very robust.
