Blodgett monolayer conversion

As this volume attests, a wide range of chemistry occurs at interfacial boundaries. Examples range from biological and medicinal interfacial problems, such as the chemistry of anesthesia, to solar energy conversion and electrode processes in batteries, to industrial-scale separations of metal ores across interfaces, to investigations into self-assembled monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett films for nanoelectronics and nonlinear optical materials. These problems are based not only on structure and composition of the interface but also on kinetic processes that occur at interfaces. As such, there is considerable motivation to explore chemical dynamics at interfaces.
