Surface-grafted polyglutamate films with reaction-induced polar order

Taking the enormous amount of scientific papers over the last decades as a measure, the subject of organic ultra-thin films has drawn the attention of many scientists. Most of these films are made by the simple spin-coating technique. Unfortunately, films produced that way possess little or no molecular order. Especially thin transparent polypeptide films with high molecular order are of major importance because these films might find use in microelectronical and electro-optical applications. ...
