Layer by Layer (LbL) Technique for fabrication of electrostatic Self assembled ultrathin films

Layer by Layer (LbL) technique is a unique way for fabricating ultrathin nanostructured electrostatic self assembled films of water soluble material with controlled layer structure and lattice parameters etc. LbL films have many technical applications in the field of molecular electronics and biotechnology. This paper reports the early development, technology and application of LbL films along with national and international status of this newly booming technique for the fabrication electrostatic Self Assembled ultrathin films.
