Polyelectrolyte thin films constructed using the method proposed by Decher and coworkers are studied using several electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry with rotative disc electrode. The main goal of this work is to evaluate the influence of the number of layers and the charge of the external layer in thin film permeability. These films seem to have electrochemical properties strongly influenced by deposition conditions. It's shown that the increased number of layers lowers film permeability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
