“…The solvent was allowed to evaporate for 60 minutes. The samples prepared were imaged using a uorescence microscope (BX43 Olympus) in the transmission mode at a temperature of $20 C. The Langmuir monolayer of the TCQDL molecules was formed at the air-water interface 35 and was observed under an epi-uorescence microscope (Leitz Metallux 3). The images were captured using an intensied charge coupled device camera (Cairn Research).…”

“…The Langmuir-Blodgett technique is an important method to produce macroscopic materials organized on the molecular scale [1][2][3][4][5]. This approach allows amphiphilic molecules to be oriented at the air-water interface and then transferred sequentially onto a solid support [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In our research, some special amphiphiles, including bolaamphiphiles, gemini, and amphiphiles with functional substituted groups, have been designed and synthesized, and their organized supramolecular assemblies in LB films have also been investigated, which may broaden the traditional research areas about LB film and give some perspectives and clues for the relative research in the future.…”

The recent progress in functionalized LB ilms and supramolecular gels varies and occupies various ields. Self-assembly technique is playing an important role in preparing well-deined multilevel nanostructures and the functionalized nanomaterials with the designed and controlled properties. In this chapter, various kinds of functionalized LB ilms and supramolecular gels, including gold nanoparticles, inorganicorganic hybrid composites, and graphene oxide nanocomposites, have been demonstrated and analyzed. We show main research contributions in recent years in two sections preparation and self-assembly of some functionalized LB ilms and preparation and self-assembly of some functionalized supramolecular gels. The above research work may give the potential perspective for the design and preparation of new selfassembly nanomaterials. Future research on preparation of LB ilms and supramolecular gels will depend on the novel applications and special nanostructures in order to produce novel functional nanomaterials and devices.Keywords: LB ilm, supramolecular gel, self-assembly, nanomaterials, nanostructures, properties . IntroductionThe recent progress in functionalized LB ilms and supramolecular gels is varied and occupies various ields.

“…Besides, sol-gel, layer by layer (LbL), aerosol spraying, dip coating, and spin coating are techniques that entail liquid solutions of the material in a volatile solvent [7,62,63]. A common method to obtain surfaces with a single biomolecular layer is Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) dip coating, using self-assembled monolayers [7,64,65].…”

This chapter provides an overview of recent advances in the field of laser-based synthesis of biopolymer thin films for biomedical applications. The introduction addresses the importance of biopolymer thin films with respect to several applications like tissue engineering, cell instructive environments, and drug delivery systems. The next section is devoted to applications of the fabrication of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic coatings. Matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) and Combinatorial-MAPLE are introduced and compared with other conventional methods of thin films assembling on solid substrates. Advantages and limitations of the methods are pointed out by focusing on the delicate transfer of bio-macromolecules, preservation of properties and on the prospect of combinatorial libraries' synthesis in a single-step process. The following section provides a brief description of fundamental processes involved in the molecular transfer of delicate materials by MAPLE. Then, the chapter focuses on the laser synthesis of two polysaccharide thin films, namely Dextran doped with iron oxide nanoparticles and Levan, followed by an overview on the MAPLE synthesis of other biopolymers. The chapter ends with summary and perspectives of this fast-expanding research field, and a rich bibliographic database.
