AbstractThe layer-by-layer growth of film structures consisting of sequential depositions of oppositely charged polymers and macrocycles (ring-shaped molecules) have been constructed using molecular self-assembly techniques. These self-assembled thin films were characterized with X-ray reflectometry, which yielded (1) the average electron density, (2) the average thicknesses, and (3) the roughness of the growth surface of the self-assembled multilayer of macrocycles and polymers. These observations suggest that inorganic-organic interactions play an important role during the initial stages of thin-film growth, but less so as the thin film becomes thicker. Optical absorption techniques were also used to characterize the self-assembled multilayers. Phorphyrin and phthalocyanine derivatives were chosen as the building blocks of the self-assembled multilayers because of their interesting optical properties.

ABSTRACTFluorescent polystyrene microparticles with different sizes were produced by the consecutive assembly of fluorescently labeled polyelectrolytes using the layer-by-layer self-assembly method. Film growth was characterized by microelectrophoresis and fluorescence microscopic image (FMI) analysis. Alternating negative and positive ζ-potentials with deposition of each successive polyelectrolyte layer demonstrated that the alternate adsorption of polyelectrolytes was achieved. FMI analysis provided direct measurement of the fluorescence intensity of single microparticles. The subsequent deposition of a protein (immunoglobulin G, IgG) layer onto the fluorescent microparticles was confirmed by a sandwich immunoassay.
