Cotton fabric was coated with polyaniline molecules using Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique. This method provides layer by layer deposition of polyaniline molecules. Infrared spectrum showed the vibrational peaks attributed with the presence of polyaniline molecules on the samples. Four-point probe measurements were done to obtain the surface conductivity of the samples. Upon increasing the dipping cycles, the conductivity of cotton fabric significantly increases. The optimum number of dipping cycle is found to be at 130. Beyond the optimum dipping cycle, the conductivity starts to decrease.

In this study zinc sulfide thin films were grown by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique on (100) GaAs substrates from aqueous precursor solutions. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) method was used to study the growth of the films up to a thickness of 180 nm. The ZnS thin films on (100) GaAs were smooth with an rms roughness of 0.2–1.9 nm depending on the film thickness. After the GaAs surface was covered with ZnS, the growth appeared to be nearly layerwise. In addition, in situ AFM studies were carried out to analyze the dissolution of (100) GaAs in water, which is a process competing with the thin film deposition by the SILAR.

The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique was used to grow double layer structures of CdS-PbS. The growth of thin films by the SILAR technique from diluted aqueous solutions was achieved, ionic layer by ionic layer, at room temperature and normal pressure. The thin films on silicon were characterized by XRD, AFM, XPS. It was established that a double layer could be grown on crystalline silicon and that the morphology and crystallinity of the films could be controlled by changing the lead precursor.
