“…As is widely known, this strategy is mostly used for deposition of organic materials including biopolymers although recent efforts have demonstrated use of the LB method for inorganic substances such as nanorods, nanosheets and other nano-objects. 17,18 For example, Zeng et al 19 applied LB deposition for ultralarge graphene oxide sheets up to 200 mm in lateral size that could be converted into a transparent thin film conductor by subsequent reduction and chemical doping. The measured sheet resistance was better than that of chemical vapor deposition-prepared graphene film.…”

Although progress in nanotechnology is anticipated to stimulate the development of innovative materials, the areas of nanotechnology and materials science are somehow separated with little common ground in current technologies. Nanotechnology has some analytical aspects that are beneficial mainly to the nanoscopic sciences at the atom or molecular levels. Experience of these advanced techniques has only been applied in synthetic approaches to macroscopic materials in rather immature level. Forming nanomaterials into hierarchic and organized structures is a rational way of preparing advanced functional materials. Recently, one of us coined the term materials' nanoarchitectonics to express this innovation. This review focuses on recent research to develop functional materials by forming nanomaterials into organized structures, especially in well-ordered layered structural motifs. This layered nanoarchitectonics can be achieved by using the versatile technology of layer-by-layer assembly. Reassembly of bulk materials into novel layered structures through layered nanoarchitectonics has created many innovative functional materials in a wide variety of fields as can be seen in ferromagnetic nanosheets, sensors, flame-retardant coatings, transparent conductors, electrodes and transistors, walking devices, drug release surfaces, targeting drug carriers and cell culturing.

“…Construction of self-assembled systems into thin film formats has been carried out with supramolecular technologies including selfassembled monolayers (SAM) [26][27][28][29][30], Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films [31][32][33][34][35][36], and layer-by-layer (LbL) thin film assemblies [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Some of these self-assembled structures have also been recently combined with advanced top-down techniques.…”

“…Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) [52][53][54][55][56] and LB methods [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] have been used for organization of functional elements in two-dimensional or layered structures, respectively. These methods offer opportunities for immobilization of functional components into wellorganized structures.…”

Alternate layer-by-layer (LbL) adsorption has received much attention as an emerging methodology. Biocompatibility is the most prominent advantage of the LbL assembly process because the technique employs mild conditions for film construction. Most enzymes, especially water-soluble ones, have charged sites at their surfaces so that electrostatic LbL adsorption is suitable for construction of various protein organizations. In this review chapter, we summarize recent developments on enzyme-encapsulated LbL devices and their related functions where "encapsulated" does not always entail entrapment within spherical structures but generally includes immobilization of enzymes within the LbL structures. Recent examples, with various functions such as reactor sensors and medical applications, are described within a classification of structural types, i.e., thin films and spherical capsules. In addition to conventional applications, advanced systems including integration of LbL structures into advanced devices such as microchannels, field effect transistors, and flow injection amperometric sensors are introduced as well as recent developments in hybridization of LbL assemblies with functional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube, dendrimers, nanoparticles, lipid assemblies, and mesoporous materials, all of which can enhance bio-related functions of LbL assemblies.
