conventional LB films are also useful for some applications in the nanotechnology field [11]. In this way, self-assembling can be defined as not only simple spontaneous aggregation but also functionalized organization. 

In the present chapter, the fabrication of monolayers of dendritic polymers at air/water interfaces and on solid substrates is reviewed in Section 2. In Section 3, the hybrids of dendritic polymers with linear polymers at interfaces are focused, and the hybrids with inorganic materials are introduced in Section 4.
