LayerbyLayertekniikan
LayerbyLayertekniikan, often abbreviated as LBL, is a versatile fabrication method used to create thin films and functional materials through a sequential deposition process. The core principle involves immersing a substrate into a series of solutions, each containing a different component, and allowing for adsorption or reaction. Typically, the process alternates between positively and negatively charged polyelectrolytes, or other molecules that exhibit specific binding affinities to the substrate or previously deposited layers.
The deposition occurs through electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, or covalent bonding, depending on the chosen materials
