What does lbl mean

lbl means layer-by-layer self-assembly.

lbl is short for Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly, a simple and versatile method of surface modification that began to develop rapidly in the 1990s.

The LBL method focuses on preparing polyelectrolyte self-assembled multilayers by alternately depositing charged substrates in oppositely charged polyelectrolyte solutions. Its founders include the original Iler and the more famous g-Deschel.

Extended information:

There has been a tremendous development in LBL in terms of basic research. lbl. The applicable raw materials have been expanded from the initial classical polyelectrolytes to dendrimer polyelectrolytes, polymer brushes, inorganic charged nanoparticles such as MMT, CNT, and colloids.

The applicable medium of LBL has been expanded from water to organic solvents and ionic liquids, and the driving force of LBL has been expanded from electrostatic force to hydrogen bonding, halogen atoms, ligand bonding, and even chemical bonding.
