The expectation of the structural dependence of lubrication motivated great numbers of investigations that intended to prepare and use highly ordered organic films, such as the Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) hlms and Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs), as solid lubricant, which will be discussed more specihcally in Section 4. 

The importance of surface characterization in molecular architecture chemistry and engineering is obvious. Solid surfaces are becoming essential building blocks for constructing molecular architectures, as demonstrated in self-assembled monolayer formation [6] and alternate layer-by-layer adsorption [7]. Surface-induced structuring of liqnids is also well-known [8,9], which has implications for micro- and nano-technologies (i.e., liqnid crystal displays and micromachines). The virtue of the force measurement has been demonstrated, for example, in our report on novel molecular architectures (alcohol clusters) at solid-liquid interfaces [10].

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) [8] The layers are formed by heterologous interaction between reactive groups, such as thiols, and noble metals, such as gold or silver. Since the molecules are selectively adsorbed on these metals, film growth stops after the first monolayer is completed. The molecular aggregation is enthalpy driven, and the final structure is in thermodynamic equilibrium.

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.
