Research
area: STUDY OF BIO-MOLECULES AT AIR-WATER INTERFACE
The goal of my research is preparation and characterising thin films of bio molecules.
The study of thin films started with the observation of oil spreading on water surface by Benjamin Franklin in 1773. A thin film of the material under investigation is deposited onto solid substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition. Thin films exhibit high degree of molecular order and these films have different optical, electrical and biological properties.
Langmuir-Blodgett films find applications as model biological membranes, surface modification of implants, study of surfactants and in development of novel biosensors
