Abstract:
Novel methods and apparatus for thin film layer-by-layer depositions on substrates is provided. More specifically, provided herein is a layer-by-layer deposition of polymers and colloids on substrates of varying sizes and shapes including, for example, flat solid substrates, powder surfaces, flat porous sheets, and micro-porous pipes. Still more specifically, this disclosure relates to an apparatus that can be used to automate the deposition of ultra-thin layers on various substrates of varying sizes and shapes using layer-by-layer deposition and a method for doing the same.
