Langmuir-Blodgett Films: Fundamentals to Applications is a comprehensive resource on the formation, properties, and applications of ultrathin molecular films. It covers the fundamental principles of monolayer formation at the air-water interface, deposition techniques, and their characterization. The book explores the electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, highlighting their applications in sensors, organic electronics, coatings, and nanotechnology. It also discusses recent advancements, including nanomaterial integration and biomedical uses.

With a balance of theory and practical insights, Langmuir-Blodgett Films: Fundamentals to Applications is essential for researchers, engineers, and students working in surface science, thin films, and materials chemistry.
