Abstract

Systems and methods are described for a chemical reaction synthesis of films, coatings or layers using surfactants. A method includes providing a surfactant as an impurity within at least one of a first precursor layer that is coupled to a first substrate and a second precursor layer that is coupled to a second substrate; forming a composition layer; and moving the first substrate relative to the second substrate, wherein the composition layer remains coupled to the second substrate. The first precursor layer includes a first chemical reactant, the second precursor layer includes a second chemical reactant, and the composition layer includes a chemical product yielded by a chemical reaction between the first chemical reactant and the second chemical reactant.
