“…In fact, the LB technique allows deposition of films with molecular resolution thus providing the inclusion of exactly the required quantity of metal ions, which finally determines the amount of particles precipitated inside the organic matrix. Most of the works deal with the fatty acid salt LB films as precursors, − but there is, however, the possibility of particle formation in various LB precursors. − To produce nanoparticles, the samples with the deposited LB films are placed into a H 2 S atmosphere. Such a treatment results in the protonation of fatty acid headgroups and in the formation of metal sulfide in the form of particles with nanometer dimensions.…”

An in-plane patterning process of aggregated nanoparticle thin layers of different inorganic conducting and semiconducting materials produced in Langmuir−Blodgett precursors is developed using film irradiation with an electron beam. This film treatment performs cross-linking of the precursor organic molecules resulting in the insolubility of the hydrocarbon matrix in organic solvents and in the impossibility of particle aggregation in the exposed regions. After immersion of the film into the organic solvent, the exposed areas remain insulating while conducting and semiconducting layers are formed in the nontreated zones due to particle aggregation. The result of patterning is demonstrated by Brewster angle and fluorescent microscopies. The difference of electric properties of treated and nontreated regions is shown by measuring current−voltage characteristics.

“…They are amphiphilic molecules, where the hydrophilic groups attract the aqueous subphase and the hydrophobic groups point towards the air, thereby getting attached to the aqueous subphase. Due to this property of LB monolayers to array the amphiphilic molecules in a particular manner, it can successfully serve as a template for two-dimensional chemical reactions [4][5][6], …”
