Polyelectrolyte Spin Assembly: Influence of Ionic Strength on the Growth of Multilayered Thin Films
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polymer electrolyte multilayers is now a well-established method for the fabrication of thin films by sequential adsorption of alternating layers of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.Most commonly, such adsorptions have been from quiescent solutions of varying ionic strength and pH. Here, we report results on an alternative processing route for the achievement...
متن کاملاثرات نرمی پتانسیل بین سطوح بر روی بازتابندگی، فاز و قطبش نوترون‌های بازتابیده از لایه‌های مغناطیسی در بازتاب سنجی نوترونی
In the past decades, neutron reflectometry have flourished as an applicable method to the study of thin films. As an example, the type and thickness of an unknown thin film which is mounted on top of a magnetic substratum could be determined by measuring the intensity and polarization of the reflected neutrons from the sample. Neutron reflectometry is based on solving the one dimentional schröd...
متن کاملOptimization of the Automated Spray Layer-by-Layer Technique for THin Film Deposition
The operational parameters of the automated Spray-LbL technique for thin film deposition have been investigated in order to-identify their effects on film thickness and roughness. We use the automated Spray-LbL system developed at MIT by the Hammond lab to build 25 bilayer films of poly (ally amine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). Each of the 10 operational parameters of this...
متن کاملIon distribution in multilayers of weak polyelectrolytes: A neutron reflectometry study.
Neutron reflectometry was used to determine the distribution of salt ions and water in thin poly(acrylic acid) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) polyelectrolyte multilayers assembled with and without salt. Increasing salt concentration reverses the exclusion of water from the substrate region, eventually leading to an asymmetric segregation of water near the substrate at high salt concentratio...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Biomimetic Polymeric Lipid Bilayer by Phase Sensitive Neutron Reflectometry
Neutron reflectivity measurements were performed on a cell membrane mimic system consisting of a polyelectrolyte multilayer plus a synthetic terpolymer plus a phospholipid layer, at all of the intermediate steps in the assembly of the composite, to obtain neutron scattering length density depth profiles. The polyelectrolyte multilayer functions as a soft, water-containing cushion for the membra...
