pH-Controlled Electrochemical Deposition of Polyelectrolyte Complex Films

Abstract: Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) films made from oppositely charged polymer chains have applications as drug-delivery vehicles, separation membranes, and biocompatible coatings. Conventional layer-by-layer techniques for polyelectrolyte coatings are low-throughput and multistep processes that are quite slow for building films on the order of micrometers. In this work, PEC films are electrochemically deposited using a rapid one-pot method, yielding thick (1 μm) films within short experimental time scales (5 min). … Show more

“…The pH-triggered assembly of polyelectrolyte complexes from H + sensitive polyelectrolytes with electrochemical pH-gradients was performed [103]. Nanoscale polyelectrolyte multilayers were assembled from charge-shifting polyelectrolytes with electrochemically generated protons (or hydroxide anion) on the electrode surface [104,105]. Hydrolysis of anionic dimethyl maleic-modified poly(allylamine) (PAHd) or citraconic-modified poly(allylamine) PAHc to cationic poly(allylamine) (PAH) was performed with an electrochemical proton gradient.…”

“…electropolymerization), and in these cases, the resulting film is generally localized on the electrode surface. However, there are several indirect electron transfer mechanisms that generate diffusible species or gradients that act over longer distances (μm to mm from the electrode surface) to trigger thin film or hydrogel formation [117,[136][137][138]. In these cases, the electrochemical currents indirectly transduce the electrical inputs into the generation of macromolecular and macroscopic structures (note: such indirect mechanisms require redox reactions at the electrode surface and diffusible chemical species that shuttle electrons to/from the electrode).…”

“…For the chemical method, a chemical reaction must be introduced into the preparation process. It also includes many specific methods, such as anodizing (Zhang et al , 2017), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) (Xie et al , 2017), electrochemical deposition (Sadman et al , 2017), chemical vapor condensed (CVC) (Cha et al ,2016), sol-gel process (Sumida et al , 2017), spraying (Liu et al , 2017), spinning (Zheng et al , 2017), hydrothermal process (Yousefifar et al , 2016), and so on. The physicochemical method incorporates the advantages of both the chemical and physical method, and it is a comprehensive method (Zhang et al , 2013; Holgado et al , 2005).…”
