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.

In this study, self-assembled alternating film using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDAC) and meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (MTCP) was prepared as a multilayer deposition on glass substrate. This preparation technique for dye deposition may provide new feasibilities to achieve the manufacture of ultrathin films for nanotechnology application. The deposition films were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis. The results of UV-vis spectra showed that the absorbance characteristic of the multilayer films linearly increased with an increased number of PDDAC and MTCP bilayers. AFM analysis showed the film surface was relatively uniform and the progressive growth of layers was determined.

Oppositely Charged

Layer-by-layer (LbL) is a bottom-up technique used for construction of films with self-assembly and self-organizing properties. In most cases, the fundamental driving force for the formation of these films is originated from the electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged species. The charged segments of polyelectrolytes behave as small building units and their orientation and position can be designed to target structures of great complexity. Furthermore, the technique enables the use of various materials, including natural polymers. In this work, we chose the cationic biopolymer chitosan (CHI) and the negative polyelectrolytes sodium alginate (ALG) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ionic strength (0 versus 200 mM) and pH (3 versus 5) on ALG/CHI and HA/CHI nanostructured multilayered thin films properties. From profilometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses, changes in thickness and roughness of the coatings were monitored. The presence of salt in polyelectrolyte solutions induced the polymer chains to adopt conformations with more loops and tails and this arrangement in solution was transmitted to films, resulting in rougher surfaces. Furthermore, the film thickness can be precisely controlled by adjusting the pH of the polyelectrolyte solution. The variation of these parameters shows that it is possible to molecularly control chemical and structural properties of nanostructured coatings, thus opening up new possibilities of application (e.g. cell adhesion).

In this paper, we reported the dynamic self-assembly process of an half-sequence ionic self-complementarity peptide CH3CO-Pro-Ser-Phe-Cys-Phe-Lys-Phe-Glu-Pro-NH2, which could self-assemble into stable nanofibers and formed hydrogel consisting of >99% water. The dynamic self-assembly process was detected by circular dichroism (CD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). CD spectrum revealed that the mainly contents of the peptide were regular β-sheet structure. The data indicated that though the secondary structure of the peptide formed immediately, the microstructure of the self-assembly process of the designed peptide formed slowly. AFM image illustrated that the self-assembly process was layer-by-layer assembly.

A stable and high lubricant ultrathin film was fabricated by self-assembled procedure at room temperature. Thickness of the films was regularly increased with the layer-by-layer self-assembly process in which poly (acrylic acid)-ferric hydroxide (PAA-Fe(OH)3) sol as anion polyelectrolyte and photosensitive diazoresin (DR) as cationic polyelectrolyte. And the process which based on electrostatic attraction was verified by UV-vis measurement. Furthermore, the ionic bonds in the films converted to covalent bonds under UV irradiation. Finally, the surface morphology and microtribology of the films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and friction force microscopy (FFM). The results indicate that the films are flat and uniform through the self-assembly technique and the surface friction coefficients maintain at a rather low value.

Multi Layer Film

A multi-layer film has been fabricated, using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) ( PDDAC ) and a copper phthalocyanine ( CuPc ) dye, held together by electrostatic forces and layer-by-layer self-assembly attractions. The result of the multi-layer fabrication was characterized by UV-vis absorbance measurements and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). UV-vis absorption spectra of the multi-layer films increased linearly at 676 nm, which indicated that the fabrication proceeded regularly. The AFM images show that the surface of the self-assembled multi-layer was thickly covered with PDDAC / CuPc and relatively uniform.
