Langmuir–Blodgett trough
Videos
A Langmuir–Blodgett trough is an item of laboratory apparatus that is used to compress monolayers of molecules on the surface of a given subphase and to measure surface phenomena due to this compressi
Langmuir–Blodgett trough
Monolayer transfer onto a substrate after film compression. The substrate is moving from bottom to top and is hydrophilically coated since the polar head groups are adhering to the surface

…in 1917 when Irving Langmuir (Langmuir, 1917) showed that single water-surface monolayers could be transferred to solid substrates. 18 years later, Katharine Blodgett made an important scientific advance when she discovered that several of these single monolayer films could be stacked on top of one another to make…
