Popis:	Here we report the monolayer characteristics of a biodegradable polymer chitosan using Langmuir-Blodgett film technique. Usually chitosan has not form stable monolayer film. However they form stable monolayer film when mixed with fatty acid. Our result may be useful for the biological application of chitosan mainly in drug delivery. Since, the stability during the time of drug delivery is one of the important criteria for the choice of biomaterials suitable for forming the carrier film matrix and the barrier films.
