Abstract:We report a facile interfacial assembly strategy for the preparation of flexible polyphenol-based films for antibacterial and antiultraviolet applications. The free-standing films can be instantaneously formed via spraying tannic acid (TA) at the surface of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) solutions. Compared with the traditional castingevaporation procedure on solid substrates, the liquid interfacial assembly method for the construction of free-standing films is rapid and facile, which prevents the interface sep… Show more
