  • Chapter
Langmuir-Blodgett Films

Abstract

There are a number of different ways in which a floating monolayer may be transferred to a solid plate (to be referred to as the substrate). This chapter is concerned exclusively with the method reported by Langmuir,(1) extensively applied by Blodgett,(2,3) and which is now firmly associated with the names of these workers. Other transfer mechanisms can result from different interactions between the monolayer, subphase, and solid. Examples are the “touching” method of Schulman et al. (4) and the “lifting” technique suggested by Langmuir and Schaefer(5); these are reviewed in the book by Gaines.(6) The lifting technique has found some application by Fukuda et al.,(7–10) who have used it to deposit monolayers of certain long chain aromatics, and also by workers on phospholipid membranes, in order to produce hydrophilic outer surfaces.(213) A similar horizontal deposition technique has been described by Lando et al. (11,12) this would seem to be useful for the transfer of polymerized or highly rigid monolayers to solid supports. A further variation is discussed by Kossi and Leblanc,(13) who have reported on a combined lifting and touching technique to produce model membrane systems.
