A1 - Laschewsky, André T1 - Ordered polyelectrolyte "multilayers" : 5. photo-cross-linking of hybrid films containing a new unsaturated and hydrophobized poly(diallylammonium) salt and exfoliated clay N2 - A simple synthetic route to a new poly(diallylammonium) salt functionalized by a styrene group is presented. This reactive polymer was employed for polyelectrolyte multilayer films using electrostatical layer-by-layer self- assembly, together with an inorganic polyanion, namely an exfoliated hectorite clay. To enhance their stability, the final hybrid multilayers were cross-linked by exposure to UV light, leading only to a minor shrinkage. Alternatively, the reactive polycation was cross-linked after each adsorption step. X-ray reflectometry revealed that the two types of films dispose of an internal order with a short length scale, that seems insensitive to the photo-cross-linking. Cross- linking after each adsorption step, however, results in more regular film growth, and reduces the films? roughness and the amount of polyanion deposited. Under these conditions, the films seem to grow by deposition of submonolayers with a combined vertical and lateral expansion, resulting in the self-healing of previously deposited, incomplete layers.

Hybrid films self-assembled from fluorescent and smectogenic poly(diallylammonium) salts and delaminated clay N2 - Homopolymers were prepared from diallylammonium monomers bearing 4-methylcoumarin and 4-cyanobiphenyl as fluorescent and mesogenic side groups, as well as their copolymers with diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC). Organic-inorganic hybrid films were electrostatically self-assembled via the layer-by-layer technique on silicon wafers and quartz plates from the chromophore-bearing polymers and an exfoliated synthetic hectorite. Photophysical studies performed in solution as well as in the self-assembled films demonstrated only a weak tendency for aggregation of the chromophores in the macromolecules. Moreover, assemblies made from the polymers carrying the cyanobiphenyl mesogen were found to exhibit a pronounced internal order Y1 - 2006 UR - http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/cm060209x U6 - https://doi.org/10.1021/Cm060209x ER -
