A solution of amphiphilic molecules and water is atomized to form a mist of droplets which are deposited on a substrate surface to completely cover same with a coating of the solution. The amphiphilic molecules in the coating self-assemble on the surface into a continuous thin film that is less than 500 nanometers thick. The water is evaporated from the coating to leave only the film chemically bonded to the surface.

Solution containing amphiphilic molecules

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