An Introduction to Polyelectrolyte Multilayers Layer-by-Layer Adsorption (LbL): An Enabling Technology for the Nano- construction of Multifunctional Films on Solvent Accessible Surfaces. G. Decher / Institut Charles Sadron Institut Charles Sadron 1 Differences between chemistry in bulk and at interfaces Some trivia: • Surface functional groups accessible only from the solution side. ( SN1 might be favored over SN2 ; reactivities different from bulk) • Typical monolayer thicknesses of 0.5 nm to 5 nm. • Typical surface areas of 0.20 nm2 per molecule, 5 1014 molecules per cm2. • At a mass of 400 g/mol, 1 cm2 of a densely packed monolayer corresponds to 0.33 µg of material. • 5g (semi-preparative scale), would cover an area of 1500 m2. • Monomolecular layers of polymer may be thinner and less dense and typically consist of 0.1 to 1.5 mg of material per 1 m2. • Less than 0.02 mg for chemical analysis and physical characterization Advantage: We only need tiny amounts from colleagues doing synthesis Institut Charles Sadron 4 Build-to-Order Assembled Films Build-to-Order (BTO) is the capability to quickly build standard or mass-customized products upon receipt of spontaneous orders without forecasts. Layer-by-Layer assembly allows to design functional surfaces and surface-based nano-devices in a "build-to-order" fashion. It exceeds simple self-organization under equilibrium conditions by making it possible to arrange many different materials at will with nanoscale precision. Institut Charles Sadron 5 The multilayer films that can do everything . Pierre Schaaf, Gero Decher, Jean-Claude Voegel La Recherche, No. 389, SEPT. 2005, 56-58 Institut Charles Sadron 6 A Disruptive Nano-Coating Technology Layer-by-layer deposition can provide solutions in two areas: • Surface modification (engineering the interaction of a given object with its environment) • Fabrication of thin film devices (permitting multimaterial assemblies including proteins and colloids) Applications: anticorrosion, antireflective coatings, biocompatibilisation, biosensors, implants, optical waveguides, electroluminescent devices, microreactors, and many more … The ease by which even multimaterial coatings can be put together using an environmentally friendly low cost technique has kindled widespread interest, not only in academia. The first commercial products have already been introduced to the market in 2001, 2002 and 2004.

    ADVISORY NOTE Strasbourg, France, October 8Th 2009

    ADVISORY NOTE Strasbourg, France, October 8th 2009 Details on SHIP-In R&D project revealed, a world-class project for French Research supported by the Alsace BioValley Cluster The SHIP-In research-and-development project has a single goal: developing new and innovative cellular systems for the biopharmaceutical industry. It received the label of the Alsace BioValley cluster in Alsace, France, in November 2008 and is co-sponsored by France’s Cancer Bio Santé and Medicen research poles. The pharmaceutical industry’s development of new therapeutic molecules requires the development and utilization of experimental cellular models that are both efficient and reliable. For a long time, the only possibility was to use stem cells extracted from human embryos. Apart from the difficulty of ensuring their availability, the use of such cells is also circumscribed by stringent ethical and regulatory constraints, which considerably hamper and slow the discovery of new medicines. Today, a new scientific approach offers an alternative to the use of embryonic stem cells, which is to start with adult human cells and reprogram them as multi-purpose cells. The SHIP-In project consists in optimizing this new technology to cater for the demands of the biopharmaceutical industry. The aim is to provide pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies with an unlimited supply of human cells which meet quality criteria that are not available today. Eventually, SHIP-In should facilitate the discovery of new molecules and generally speed up the therapeutic innovation process. “SHIP-In presents a unique opportunity for participating in the development of scientific advances that have been unanimously hailed at a world level,” declared Nicolas Carboni, the Director of the Alsace BioValley cluster, a partner in the project.

Neilsen 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Phase Behavior of Particle-Polyelectrolyte Complexes by John Neilsen Master of Science in Chemical Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Samanvaya Srivastava, Chair The phase behavior of particle-polyelectrolyte complexes was systematically studied using a model system comprising oppositely charged silica nanoparticles and poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) polycations. Phase behaviors of aqueous mixtures of silica nanoparticles and PAH were elucidated over a wide parameter space of particle and polyelectrolyte concentrations as well as solution pH. Trends in phase behaviors were analyzed to create a fundamental understanding of the fundamental properties that govern the complexation of these oppositely charged species. ii The thesis of John Neilsen is approved.
