Inspired by the self-cleaning and water-repellent properties of plants and animals in the
natural world, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials develop quickly, and are of …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

The development of oriented organic monomolecular layers by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)
and self-assembly (SA) techniques has led researchers toward their goal of assembling …

A solid substrate with a positively charged planar surface is immersed in a solution
containing an anionic polyelectrolyte and a monolayer of the polyanion is adsorbed. Since …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

An anionic and a cationic bipolar amphiphile containing rigid biphenyl cores were
synthesized. The compounds were dissolved in a mixture of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and …

Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts from both industry and academia, Acoustic
Wave Sensors provides an in-depth look at the current state of acoustic wave devices and …

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of p-aminothiophenol adsorbed on silver
measured with visible excitations is compared with the normal Raman and ultraviolet …

We have recently reported on the consecutive physisorption of anionic and cationic bipolar
amphiphiles onto charged surfaces, adsorbed out of aqueous solutions [1]. Here, we extend …

The controlled transfer of organized monolayers of amphiphilic molecules from the air-water
interface to a solid substrate was the first molecular-scale technology for the creation of new …
