Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how rinsing affects the stability of self-assembled polyelectrolyte films made from poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS).
- Rinsing at a pH of 9 (same as the film buildup) kept the films stable, whereas rinsing at higher pH levels caused significant polymer release, leaving only a PAH monolayer.
- Thicker films (4+ bilayers) remained stable at lower pH, but stability of thinner films varied; films with PSS on top stayed stable, while those with PAH released more material.
