Abstract

Layer-by-layer (LbL) films have been produced with
poly(o-ethoxyaniline) (POEA), chitosan and chitosanpoly(
methacrylic acid) (CS-PMAA) nanoparticles. Because the
adsorption of LbL films depends on ionic interactions and Hbonding, optimized conditions had to be established for the growth of multilayer films. Unusually thick films were obtained for POEA and CS-PMAA, thus demonstrating the importance of
using chitosan in the form of nanoparticles
