We studied the properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer films prepared using the technique of
polyelectrolyte deposition from solution (dipping) or supplying the solutions to the surface by …

Ultrathin polyelectrolyte films containing silver nanoparticles appear to be a promising
material for antimicrobial coatings used in the medical area. The present work is focused on …

We report on the role of molecular diffusivity in the formation of nonlinearly growing
polyelectrolyte multilayers (nl PEMs). Electrostatically bound polyelectrolyte multilayers were …

Despite the long history of investigations of polyelectrolyte multilayer formation on solid or
liquid surfaces, important questions remain open concerning the construction of the first set …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are an emerging natural material with the ability to stabilize
fluid/fluid interfaces. Native CNC is hydrophilic and does not change the interfacial tension …

Porous membranes coated with so-called asymmetric polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs)
have recently been shown to outperform commercial membranes for micropollutant removal …

Understanding interactions between functional nanoparticles and lipid bilayers is important
to many emerging biomedical and bioanalytical applications. In this paper, we report …

We have developed a unique surface force type apparatus that allows direct measurements
of the structure of a polymer layer under a confining pressure using neutron reflection. We …

The ability to form highly tailored polymer thin films with various functional groups or
nanoobjects incorporated in the film structure is the main reason of a popularity of the Layer …

Using Neutron Reflectometry (NR), polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films made by layer-by-
layer (LbL) deposition of a strong polycation (polyethylene imine [PEI]) and a polyanion …
