Nanoconfined Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
Source abstract
Abstract
Lateral nanometer-scale control over the growth of polyelectrolyte (layer-by-layer) multilayers is demonstrated down to 40 nm, which is well below the natural size of the macromolecules in solution. Because of confinement upon adsorption, the molecules change conformation as compared with the usual, macroscopic case (see Figure). This work opens direct opportunities for transferring polyelectrolyte multilayer systems to nanotechnology.

30. Thelpvalue computed for PSS agrees quite well with a published experimental value obtained in 0. 001 M NaCl after correction for excluded volume (7–12 nm) [18].

32. This treatment ignores excluded volume interactions which should remain of limited extent sinceL/lpis small (about 8 and 30–60 for PSS and PDDA respectively.)
33. Limited polyelectrolyte adsorption was detected for higher pH values close to neutral.

38. In a previous report [35] the thickness of (PDDA/PSS)5multilayers adsorbed on dots of 150 nm diameter was found to be about 2 nm which is close to the thickness of the macroscopic multilayer and in good agreement with the present study.
