Over the last few decades there has been a huge interest in nanostructured functional
materials and assembly techniques for preparing functional molecular assemblies with …

During the last few decades, electrochemistry and electrode modification have seen a
tremendous fall off in creativity with the emergence of the nanoarchitectonic-based layer-by …

Controlling the bulk and surface properties of materials is a real challenge for bioengineers
working in the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering and biophysics. The layer-by-layer …

Stimuli-responsive polymer films undergo interesting structural and property changes upon
external stimuli. Their applications have extended from smart coatings to controlled drug …

The deposition of surface coatings using a step‐by‐step approach from mutually interacting
species allows the fabrication of so called “multilayered films”. These coatings are very …

The present review provides an overview on the recent progress in the development of pH-
and sugar-sensitive layer-by-layer (LbL) thin films and microcapsules in relation to their …

The fastest growth pattern of layer-by-layer (LBL) assembled films is exponential LBL (e-
LBL), which has both fundamental and practical importance. It is associated with “in-and-out” …

Polyelectrolyte multilayer films have been well characterized for almost two decades and
there is now a growing interest for the development of biomimetic films that could be used in …

Layer‐by‐Layer (LbL) assembly is a simple and highly versatile method to modify surfaces
and fabricate robust and highly‐ordered nanostructured coatings over almost any type of …

Novel biocompatible hybrid-material composed of iron-ion-cross-linked alginate with
embedded protein molecules has been designed for the signal-triggered drug release …
