Fabrication of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) molecules onto solid substrates in order to form Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films have been studied in this paper. As a first step to determine the optimum conditions for the deposition isotherm graphs of PMMA molecules have been recorded which showed that PMMA molecules can easily be organised on the water surface. Mean value of the area per molecule of the selected PMMA molecules have been calculated between 2000 and 3500 nm2. Alternate layer (AL) type LB thin films of PMMA molecules have been fabricated using arachidic acid as a promoter. Mixed monolayers of PMMA and arachidic acid could also form stable monolayers and thin films up to 2 layers.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
