| LB (3242 words) |
 | The LB-technique is one of the most promising techniques for preparing such thin films as it enables (i) the precise control of the monolayer thickness, (ii) homogeneous deposition of the monolayer over large areas and (iii) the possibility to make multilayer structures with varying layer composition. |
 | However, even though the ideas for practical applications are growing the L and LB films are still mostly used as model systems for example for biomembrane research and multilayer coatings. |
 | These are the nature of the spread film, the subphase composition and temperature, the surface pressure during the deposition and the deposition speed, the type and nature of the solid substrate and the time the solid substrate is stored in air or in the subphase between the deposition cycles. |
