Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions govern most of the properties of supramolecular
systems, which is the reason determining the degree of ionization of macromolecules has …

Electrostatic interactions govern most properties of polyelectrolyte films, as in the
photoinduced birefringence of azo-containing polymers. In this paper we report a systematic …

The electrostatically driven binding dynamics of a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMU) film was
investigated in real-time using dual-beam polarization interferometry (DPI) and …

This work reports a novel deltamethrin (DM) sensor able to detect nano-molar
concentrations in ethanol solutions. The sensing layer consists of a thin film, obtained via a …

Roughness of a positively charged poly (allylamine hydrochloride)(PAH) polyelectrolyte
surface was shown to strongly influence the adsorption of 1.2-dipalmitoyl-sn-3-glycero …

The mechanisms which lead to the adsorption of the azopolyelectrolyte poly [1-[4-(3-carboxy-
4-hydroxyphenylazo) benzene sulfonamido]-1, 2-ethanediyl, sodium salt](PAZO) layer …

Photoinduced birefringence creation/decay dynamics in poly {1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-
hydroxyphenylazo) benzenesulfonamido]-1, 2-ethanediyl, sodium salt} cast films, has been …

Morphology of poly (allylamine hydrochloride) and poly [1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-
hydroxyphenylazo) benzenesulfonamido]-1, 2-ethanediyl, sodium salt](PAZO) layer-by-layer …

This chapter demonstrates the feasibility of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and High
Frequency Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (HF-SAM) as tools to characterize biological …

We propose a fiber-based environmental sensor that exploits the reflection-phase-shift
tunability provided by the use of layered coatings composed of dielectric slabs spaced by …
