Buildup of ultrathin multilayer films by a self-assembly process: III. Consecutively alternating adsorption of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes on charged surfaces

Buildup of ultrathin multilayer films by a self‐assembly process, 1 consecutive adsorption of anionic and cationic bipolar amphiphiles on charged surfaces

Abstract An anionic and a cationic bipolar amphiphile containing rigid biphenyl cores were synthesized. The compounds were dissolved in a mixture of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and...

Metal nanoparticle/polymer superlattice films: Fabrication and control of layer structure

Multilayer superlattices incorporating colloidal metal nanoparticles have been synthesized by an approach based on self‐assembly. Teh method of synthesis is described and the re...

Reversible swelling of polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength

Abstract Immersion of consecutively adsorbed polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength causes reversible thickness changes. Swelling of the ...
