Electrostatic and Coordinative Supramolecular Assembly of Functional Films for Electronic Application and Materials Separation

Selective Transport of Aromatic Molecules across Ultrathin Separation Membranes of p-Sulfonato-calix[n]arenas and Cationic Polyelectrolytes

“…In all the previous studies, the preparation of ultrathin films and composite membranes based on lbl adsorption on solid substrates was based on linear or branched polyelectrolytes [1][2][3][4]. However, the electrostatic lbl assembly also provides the possibility to incorporate di-or multivalent inorganic ions and macrocyclic compounds in the films, and increases the potential and applicability of the method even further [5][6][7][8][9][10]. The crucial point of this work is the preparation of homogeneous and ultrathin separating membranes with high constant flux and optimum separation capability.…”
