Structural dynamics study of ultrathin Langmuir-Blodgett films

Thin films based research finds application due to their compatibility with real life phenomena (such as bio-membranes, lipid-protein interactions) and fabrication of devices. Moreover, the ease in processing techniques and their flexibility towards the practical applications make them technically more reliable in today's modern era of technology. Apart from inorganic metal or semiconductor thin films, recently the most preferred and the important topic of research have been related to the subject of organized organic and polymer composites ultrathin films. For uniform and low cost synthesis, a number of chemical and physical synthesis processes have been applied throughout the last century and so. In the present work the fabrication of such important organic/polymer thin films have been tackled by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition technique which is considered to be one of the best methods to handle uniformity in a system of monomolecular dimension.
