— Two different methods of fabricating ultrathin films made of organosilicon compounds (OSC) with various chemical structures on both the glass and plastic films has been developed and investigated. There is the adsorption method for linear siloxane derivatives and strained cyclosiloxanes and the Langmuir‐Blodgette method. The physical properties (surface energy with polar and dispersion components and surface charge) of the films were studied as well as their ability to align liquid crystals (LCs). The OSC films have improved stability in ambient environments.
