Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Supported Lipid Bilayer Poly-l-Lysine Multilayers

Cofacial porphyrin multilayers via layer-by-layer assembly.

This paper reports a new layer-by-layer assembly approach to fabricate multilayers of cofacially aligned porphyrins on solid supports by a selective siloxane formation utilizing tetraphenylporphyrinatosilicon(IV) chloride as the building block.

Layer-by-layer deposition of hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lysine for patterned cell co-cultures.

A novel method for patterning cellular co-cultures that uses the layer-by-layer deposition of ionic biopolymers is described. Non-biofouling hyaluronic acid (HA) micropatterns were used to immobilize cells and proteins to glass substrates. Subsequent ionic adsorption of poly-L-lysine (PLL) to HA patterns was used to switch the HA surfaces from cell repulsive to adherent thereby facilitating the...

Micromechanical Properties of Nanostructured Clay-Oxide Multilayers Synthesized by Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly

Clay-based nanostructured multilayers, such as clay-polymer multilayers and clay-oxide multilayers, have attracted growing attention owing to their remarkable mechanical properties and promising application in various fields. In this paper, synthesis of a new kind of nanostructured clay-oxide multilayers by layer-by-layer self-assembly was explored. Nano-mechanical characterization of 18 clay-b...

Silica nanoparticles for the layer-by-layer assembly of fully electro-active cytochrome c multilayers

BACKGROUND For bioanalytical systems sensitivity and biomolecule activity are critical issues. The immobilization of proteins into multilayer systems by the layer-by-layer deposition has become one of the favorite methods with this respect. Moreover, the combination of nanoparticles with biomolecules on electrodes is a matter of particular interest since several examples with high activities an...
