Polyelectrolyte multilayers as functional coatings for controlled biomolecular interactions
- This review gives a short overview of the physical processes involved in the formation of the polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) and their destruction. These two processes are vital for the formation of PEMs with desired physical and chemical structures, and for loading them with active substances and their spatial controlled release. It includes a survey of the physical and chemical properties that are key points for controlling film nanostructure in relation to biological processes and different possibilities for controlling cell behavior by means of film composition, bioactivity, mechanical properties, and three-dimensional organization.
