Molecular monolayers

Molecular monolayers are single, tightly packed layers of molecules that form on a surface, like a coating. They consist of molecules arranged in a specific orientation, often used to modify the surface's properties such as wettability, adhesion, or chemical reactivity. These layers are only one molecule thick but can significantly influence how the surface interacts with its environment. They are important in various applications including sensors, coatings, and nanotechnology, enabling precise control over surface functions at the molecular level.
