Abstract

A process for the preparation of Langmuir-Blodgett layer systems is described. The process comprises transferring a monolayer to a solid substrate having an electrically conductive surface by applying an electric potential, thereby oxidizing or reducing an electroactive molecule present in the monolayer. The layer systems so obtained can be used, for example, as electrically conductive layers or as sensors.
