In this study, we describe the first demonstration of well-ordered multilayer thin films of gold nanoparticles through a layer-by-layer (LbL) technique assisted by a polypeptide template.

Layer-by-layer assembly is a simple and versatile technique for fabricating multilayered thin films with precise control over composition, thickness, and architecture for diverse applications.

Polymer nanocomposites, polymers that are reinforced with nano-sized particles, provide enhanced mechanical, thermal, electrical, and barrier properties. Continued research and development of new ...

The ‘Layer-by-layer’ (LbL) method allows the self-assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayers by alternating adsorption of polyanions and polycations to interfaces, providing a route towards versatile ...
