Blodgett, Katharine

Only two years after Langmuir published the design of his surface film balance ), now known as the Langmuir trough, his co-worker Miss Katharine Blodgett developed a technique for transferring monolayers from the alr/water interface to...

In the 1930s, Irving Langmuir and Katharine Blodgett developed the LB technique to fabricate mono and multilayer films on solid substrates. The LB transfer... 

He joined Katharine B. Blodgett to study thin films and surface adsorption. They introduced the concept of a monolayer (a layer of material one molecule thick) and the two-dimensional physics which describe such a surface.
