Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly is one of the unique methods for fabrication of ultra-thin film. This technique has immense application aross many fields in today’s life. In this paper, we have presented the fabrication of the thin film comprising of antifungal and antibacterial cationic dye methylene blue with negatively charged E. coli K30 bacterial polysaccharide sharing with PAH. The multilayers were characterized by UV–Vis absorption spectra and AFM. Various photophysical behaviors were investigated. Such studies provide a new light in the research of layer by layer self-assembly technique.

Two kinds of multilayer films based on Keggin polyoxometalates α-[SiW12O40]4−/α- [PMo12O40]3− and methylene blue have been prepared via the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. The multilayer films were characterized by UV/Vis spectra, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements have demonstrated that the electrochemical properties of POMs are maintained in the LBL films. The antibacterial activity of the LBL films has also been investigated, which shows a distinct antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli.

Alginate (ALG)–lysozyme (LZ) beads were fabricated by a cross-linking process. Negatively charged ALG and positively charged LZ were alternately deposited on the positively charged ALG–LZ beads via a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique.

Herein, poly (N-(4-aminophenyl) methacrylamide))-carbon nano-onions (PAPMA-CNOs = f-CNOs) and anilinated-poly (ether ether ketone) (AN-PEEK) have synthesized, and AN-PEEK/f-CNOs composite thin films were primed via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly for stimuli-responsive drug release. The obtained thin films exhibited pH-responsive drug release in a controlled manner; pH 4.5 = 99.2% and pH 6.5 = 59.3% of doxorubicin (DOX) release was observed over 15 days. Supramolecular π-π stacking interactions between f-CNOs and DOX played a critical role in controlling drug release from thin films. Cell viability was studied with human osteoblast cells and augmented viability was perceived. Moreover, the thin films presented 891.4 ± 8.2 MPa of the tensile strength (σult), 43.2 ± 1.1 GPa of Young’s modulus (E), and 164.5 ± 1.7 Jg−1 of toughness (K). Quantitative scrutiny revealed that the well-ordered aligned nanofibers provide critical interphase, and this could be responsible for augmented tensile properties. Nonetheless, a pH-responsive and mechanically robust biocompatible thin-film system may show potential applications in the biomedical field.

Layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique has been proved to be a highly effective method to immobilize the main components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen and hyaluronic acid on titanium-based implants and form a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film by electrostatic interaction. However, the formed PEM film is unstable in the physiological environment and affects the long-time effectiveness of PEM film. In this study, a modified LBL technology has been developed to fabricate a stable collagen/hyaluronic acid (Col/HA) PEM film on titanium coating (TC) by introducing covalent immobilization. Scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the PEM film. Results of Sirius red staining demonstrated that the chemical stability of PEM film was greatly improved by covalent cross-linking. Cell culture assays further illustrated that the functions of human mesenchymal stem cells, such as attachment, spreading, proliferation and differentiation, were obviously enhanced by the covalently immobilized Col/HA PEM on TCs compared with the absorbed Col/HA PEM. The improved stability and biological properties of the Col/HA PEM covalently immobilized TC may be beneficial to the early osseointegration of the implants.
