Langmuir-Blodgett Monolayers and Multilayers
The formation of insoluble monolayers is used in the determination of "surface pressure isotherms" in studies of lipid physics and chemistry. The creation and transfer of well-ordered functional molecules to solid surfaces has many nanotechnology applications. KSV LB trough’s range from the tiny MiniMicro for Langmuir studies of rare chemicals, to deposition on the largest silicon wafers with the KSV 5000.

Monolayer Software
Our monolayer instruments are run by a powerful 32-bit software written in C++ for WindowsTM 2000/XP.
Dip Coaters
KSV Dip Coaters provide ideal solutions for paints, coatings, smart surfaces, electronics or biomaterials. Applications include uniform films, layer-by-layer assemblies, sol-gel coatings and self-assembled monolayer’s.
- Small or large samples in single or multiple vessels.
- Easy programming of dipping sequences and control of the immersion and withdrawal speeds. Dipping recipes can be stored in the PC for further utilisation.
- Vibration free immersion and withdrawal of samples into the liquid vessels for precise and uniform coatings.
- Open and flexible design allows simple optimisation to meet specific applications.
