This review summarizes the current understanding of adsorption of polyelectrolytes to
oppositely charged solid substrates, the resulting interaction forces between such …

Mechanisms and kinetic of particle deposition at solid surfaces leading to the formation of
self-assembled layers of controlled structure and density were reviewed. In the first part …

As engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used, their entry into the environment
has become an important topic for water sustainability. Recent investigations point to the …

Water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are used in diverse applications, including agricultural
formulations, that can result in the release of WSPs to soils. WSP biodegradability in soils is …

Real-time monitoring of cell temperature fluctuation can help researchers better understand
physiological phenomena and the effects of drug treatment on cells, which is a novel and …

The electrostatic layer-by-layer technique for fabrication of multi-layered structures of various
sizes and shapes using flat and colloidal templates coupled with polyelectrolyte layer …

We present a study of the adsorption of chitosan on silica. The adsorption behavior and the
resulting layer properties are investigated by combining optical reflectometry and the quartz …

The comonomer sequence tunes the chain conformation and adsorption, suggesting that
sequence design could be used to target the desired properties and morphologies in block …

The antimicrobial polypeptide ε-poly (l-lysine)(ε-PL) was electrostatically incorporated to
poly (acrylic acid)(PAA)/poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) electrospun nanofibers. ε-PL loading and …

Poly (l-lysine)(PLL) adsorption onto various materials has been widely applied as a surface
modification strategy and layer-by-layer fabrication method. Considering the role of …
