Zusammenfassung:Methods for forming monolayers without the aid of an organic solvent are provided. In particular, methods for the formation of monolayers from serum or antibody-coupled liposomes are provided. Also provided are monolayers and Langmuir Blodgett films formed by the methods of the invention and comprising at least one amphiphilic compound and optionally, one or more compounds of interest, are provided. Additionally provided are substrates, such as piezoelectric crystals, having deposited thereon the films of the invention. The monolayers, films and substrates of the invention are useful as components of biosensors and/or chemosensors and in the study of surface chemistry.
