Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and
environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological …

The development of commercially viable “green products” based on natural resources for
both matrices and reinforcements for a wide range of applications is on the rise. This effort …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

The dependence of polyelectrolyte multilayer thickness on salt concentration, salt type,
solvent quality, deposition time, and polymer concentration is evaluated. Polymers are …

Polyelectrolytes have been consecutively adsorbed onto charged polystyrene latex
particles, forming stable ultrathin multilayer films. Film growth has been followed by …

Variations in the linear charge density of a weak polyacid brought about by controlling
solution pH in a layer-by-layer sequential adsorption process were used to systematically …

Polyelectrolyte multilayers were deposited onto polystyrene and melamine formaldehyde
latex particles by means of consecutive adsorption. Two different methods of multilayer …

A mechanism for distributing excess polymer surface charge is used to model the growth of
multilayers of strongly charged polyelectrolytes. Two parameters are required for the …

The paper deals with the correlation between the internal structure and dynamics of
polyelectrolyte multilayers on one hand and their functional properties on the other hand. It …

Molecular design of ionic current rectifiers created on the basis of single conical nanopores
is receiving increasing attention by the scientific community. Part of the appeal of this topic …
