The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, through which monolayers are transferred from the
air/water interface onto a solid substrate, was the first method to allow for the controlled …

The Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) technique is known as an elegant method for fabrication of well‐
defined layered structures with molecular level precision. Since its discovery the LB method …

With the adsorption of larger molecules being increasingly tackled by surface scientists, the
aspect of chirality often plays a role. This paper gives a topical review of molecular chirality …

From the days of Biot1 and Pasteur, 2 when it was recognized that biopolymers are
composed from residues of a single handedness, scientists were puzzled as to the ancestry …

Physico-chemical processes at air/liquid interfaces are of paramount importance in nature.
The Langmuir technique offers the possibility of forming a well-defined monolayer of …

Research on surface chirality is motivated by the need to develop functional chiral surfaces
for enantiospecific applications. While molecular chirality in 3D has been the subject of study …

In this study, we designed a new monolayer-forming material, 2, 2′-bis (octadecyloxy)-1,
1′-binaphthyl-6, 6′-dicarboxylic acid (BNOC), which has axial chirality derived from the …

Despite a long history in medical and dental application, the molecular mechanism and
precise site of action are still arguable for local anesthetics. Their effects are considered to …

To study the possibility of controlling molecular assemblies such as monolayers by using
chirality, we synthesized 1-[1-(6-stearyl) pyrenyl] ethanol (SP6E), a novel amphiphilic …

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a crucial protein in the human body, serving as a carrier for
various small molecules and playing a vital role in maintaining osmotic pressure in the …
