A product for vapor depositing films of amphiphilic molecules includes a heat vaporizable film forming substance of amphiphilic molecules or amphiphilic polymers carried by a tablet of solid state inert material. The product is heated in a chamber to vaporize the film forming substance and produce a vapor of amphiphilic molecules or amphiphilic polymers which settle on a substrate surface in the chamber. The amphiphilic molecules or amphiphilic polymers chemically bond to the substrate surface and self-assemble into a thin film. The solid state inert material is unreactive with the film forming substance or with the vapor, and remains stable and unvaporized at the vaporizing temperature of the film forming substance.

A faster and more efficient method for applying ultra thin films to substrate surfaces is disclosed. The method comprises heating a film forming composition comprising amphiphilic molecules to a liquid state, immersing the substrate surface in the heated liquid composition to heat the surface, and washing away the excess composition. For surfaces that ordinarily have insufficient or no chemical moieties reactive with the amphiphilic molecules, the immersion in the heated composition causes the substrate to become porous and expose previously unavailable chemically reactive moieties in the surface matrix. The amphiphilic molecules then self-assemble, chemically bond to the surface matrix and self-polymerize with each other and with other surface matrix-bound and/or surface-bound molecules to form the ultra thin surface film. The method is also faster and more efficient for coating non porous and metal surfaces.

A film forming composition including a film forming substance having amphiphilic molecules (E) and being dispersed in a gel-like carrier having a non-liquid state below about 20 °C. The carrier stabilizes the film forming substance, and inhibits diffusion of moisture and oxygen into the composition. This minimizes deterioration of the film forming substance, and also minimizes undesirable formation of agglomerations of such substance. When the composition is applied to a surface (D) an ultra thin substantially continuous film (E) of substantially uniform thickness forms spontaneously and attaches to the surface. The excess composition is then washed away.
