Assembly and Physico-Chemical Properties of Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Films Co-Assembled with Guest Species

Huang, Xiayun (2014-08-19)

Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films are typically made of two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes held together by electrostatic interactions. PEM films embedded with guest species, that is with foreign small molecules ...
Improved Synthetic Methods for Patchy Particles

Ivanova, Nina (2012-02-14)

Patchy particles are patterned particles with at least one well-defined patch that can have highly directional and strongly anisotropic interactions with other particles or surfaces. Multiple theoretical studies point to ...
Polyelectrolyte Multilayers Containing Polyethylene-based Ionomers

Huang, Hsiu-Chin (2014-08-14)

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly technique is a powerful approach to blend two or more materials to form new materials of thin films on any type of substrate, and the LbL film is called polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). The ...
