Langmuir Blodgett Trough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Langmuir-Blodgett trough is a piece of laboratory equipment used to study the properties of monolayers of amphiphilic molecules. Among other applications, the instrument can compress the monolayer to determine an isotherm, as well as deposit Langmuir-Blodgett films on a solid substrate. The instrument is named after Irving Langmuir and Katherine Blodgett who first introduced the concept of a monolayer.
