self-organized monolayer of molecules that are adsorbed by chemical bonding on a surface due to the specific affinity of the molecule
Note 1 to entry: In a self-assembled monolayer, molecules are typically bonded to the substrate strongly with chemical bonding while molecules in Langmuir-Blodgett films are bonded weakly with physisorption, such as electrostatic force.
Note 2 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.
