✦ Synopsis

If your work is related to layer-by-layer self-assembly techniques (electrostatic thin film assembly), this is the bible that you need to become an expert. Written by the founders of the LbL technique, the material covered in this book is comprehensive and easy to understand. Since a lot of information is presented in this book, I recommend reading it cover-to-cover a few times to fully enjoy and absorb every detail. This book is a MUST! I wish I could give it six stars.
