Abstract/Summary:
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been intensively studied as one of the simplest and most immediately usefull of the self-organizing organic surface systems. They offer an ideal model for fundamental studies of organic/inorganic interfaces, cell membranes, and complex chemisorption systems. They also have technical relevance in many areas, including corrosion inhibition, adhesion control, nano-fabrication, molecular recognition, and biosensors.;Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXD) has been used to investigate the structure and adsorption kinetics of decanethiol (CH...
