Multilayer coatings of different composition and thickness are widely used in materials science and in the production of high-technology materials. The single- or multi-component thin layers significantly improve important characteristics of the materials with, e.g., specific properties. 

Today the successful application of TOF-SIMS in chemistry and material sciences covers all kinds of organic and inorganic materials—functionalized surfaces as well as mono-molecular or multilayer coatings with lateral structures down to the 50 nm range. TOF-SIMS is here applied in the... 

Fig. 14—Schematics of shear stress in (a) single constituent thick coating and in (b) multilayer coating. The shear stress in each layer of multilayer is less than that in the single constituent thick coating due to the layer slide at the interface of the multilayer coating. In addition, crack deflection in the multilayer coating was illustrated schematically.

Multilayer coatings or hlms have been proven to be successful in various applications, especially for wear protection. In multilayer systems, the intrinsic stress can be effectively reduced by designing interface number and composite materials in terms of the application and process technique. Therefore, the multilayer technique by which a specihe functional composite is able to approach received more attention for many years [17,18]. Here we introduce the results on microscale friction and scratch of DLC/DLC and Fe-N/TiN multilayers. 

During the formation of polycation-polyanion multilayer coatings on halloysite, we monitored the surface potential (electrokinetic zeta potential). Initially negative halloysite (—40 mV) was converted to a positive surface with polycation layer adsorption in the first step of the LbLassembly (figure 14.10). Adsorption of polyanions in the second step re-established the negative charge which was reversed...

Attaching the catalyst molecules to the electrode surface presents an obvious advantage for synthetic and sensor applications. Catalysis can then be viewed as a supported molecular catalysis. It is the object of the next section. A distinction is made between monolayer and multilayer coatings. In the former, only chemical catalysis may take place, whereas both types of catalysis are possible with multilayer coatings, thanks to their three-dimensional structure. Besides substrate transport in the bathing solution, the catalytic responses are then under the control of three main phenomena electron hopping conduction, substrate diffusion, and catalytic reaction. While several systems have been described in which electron transport and catalysis are carried out by the same redox centers, particularly interesting systems are those in which these two functions are completed by two different molecular systems.
