The aim of this study is not only to investigate the feasibility of using PAH (polyallylamine hydrochloride) and PSS (poly styrene-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt) to prepare a film via a layer by layer self-assembly process entrained with silver nanoparticles, but also to show that the silver nanoparticles crystalline structure can be defined and deposited on the surface of the substrate in the desired alignment structure and manner, which is of great help to research on the LBL method in the cellulose field. The effect of outermost layer variation, assembly layers, and composition of multilayers on the formation of the LBL structure on a nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) substrate was investigated. The deposition of PAH and PSS was monitored by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The morphology of the LBL film layers was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Furthermore, thermal degradation properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and physical properties of multilayer films were tested by a universal mechanical tester. The results reveal that PAH and PSS can be readily deposited on a NFC/PVA substrate by using LBL methodology to prepare self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayer films. The surface morphology of the LBL composite changed from negative to positive charged depending on the final LBL treatment. Also, according to SEM and AFM analysis, silver nanoparticles were well dispersed in the (PAH/PSS) film, which significantly improved the thermal stability of the composite films.

This research presented the preparation of multilayer films on poly(ethylene terephalate) (PET) Substrate by electrostatic self-assembly technology. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–vis spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sequential dipping of hydrolyzed PET substrate in dilute solutions of poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride)(PDDA) and silver nanoparticles to fabricate multilayer films. The multilayer films were monitored by UV–vis spectrometry, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) obtained at 420 nm confirmed the existence of nanosilver on the PET film. The silver nanoparticles were also verified by the Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICP) and thermogravimetric analysis of the multilayer film. The transmission spectra indicated that the PET films contained silver nanoparticles have better UV protection property.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG), which was not a traditional building block of layer by layer (LBL) self-assembly, was used to fabricate multilayer films by the combination of LBL and magnetic field induction. The UV-abs absorbance of the composite films increases linearly with the number of bilayers, indicating uniform fabrication of each layer. By this method, the multilayers can consist of up to 15 bilayers. The applied magnetic field not only enhances the compactness of the CPC-Fe3O4-MMT, but also improves the deposition efficiency of the films. The present method can be an effective method for multilayer film fabrication from non polyelectrolyte.

Two kinds of multilayer films based on Keggin polyoxometalates α-[SiW12O40]4−/α- [PMo12O40]3− and methylene blue have been prepared via the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. The multilayer films were characterized by UV/Vis spectra, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements have demonstrated that the electrochemical properties of POMs are maintained in the LBL films. The antibacterial activity of the LBL films has also been investigated, which shows a distinct antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli.
