Answer to Question #146409 in General Chemistry for Mike

Question

Langmuir - Blodgett thin layers. What are the reasons for the formation of such structures?

Answer 1

Langmuir - Blodgett thin layer structures are often formed due to several reasons highlighted below:

1. To facilitate the creation of sophisticated sensor surfaces, functional coatings, and coating silicon wafers.
2. To enhance metal-insulator-semiconductor that allows effective gaseous penetration within the interface.
3. To promote the production of ultra-thin films of emerging 2D layered materials.
