This review describes the synthesis and functionalization of inorganic materials with various properties by adsorption of amphiphiles. Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of amphiphiles results in the fabrication of inorganic film that can control adsorption/desorption behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) by light irradiation and the detection of DNA by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements. Furthermore, when zinc oxide particles are synthesized in the presence of amphiphiles, amphiphiles work as crystal growth directing agent which determine the crystal growth direction.
