Journal of Electrochemistry

Self-assembling technique is a versatile approach to the preparation of monolayersof well-defined composition,structure,thickness and physicochemical properties.Different aspects,such as wettability,adhesion,corrosion,tribology,electrontransfer,protein adsorption,molecularrecognition,and applications of SAMs are widely studied.The developments in the last decade arereviewed,with special attention to the electrochemical studies related to electrodes modified with thiol-derivative-based SAMs
