Layer‐by‐Layer Buildup of Poly(L‐glutamic acid)/Chitosan Film for Biologically Active Coating

Abstract: A new biocompatible film based on chitosan and poly(L-glutamic acid) (CS/PGA), created by alternate deposition of CS and PGA, was investigated. FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and QCM were used to analyze the build-up process. The growth of CS and PGA deposition are both exponential to the deposition steps at first. After about 9 (CS/PGA) depositions, the exponential to linear transition takes place. QCM measurements combined with UV-vis spectra revealed the increase in the multilayer film growth at di… Show more

“…In contrast, (chitosan/PGA-TriEG-Diclof) n films were considerably thinner with no observed induction period, with 11.0 ± 0.3 nm (R 2 = 0.9994) deposited per bilayer. The growth behavior of a (chitosan/PGA) n film can range from linear to exponential depending on the polyelectrolyte's charge density during film deposition (51), which contributes significantly to the thickness of film per bilayer (52). When chitosan [pK a ∼6.5 (53)] is well ionized and attains a flat and extended conformation, it demonstrates linear film growth (51), as we observed.…”

“…(CHI/PGA) films promoted the attachment and growth of C2C12 myoblast cells. [180] So far, it appears that there is limited understanding of the detailed molecular mechanisms of cell adhesion on to these biomimetic films. In particular, there is only a study that aimed to characterize the types of integrins involved in cell adhesion, PSS/ PAH films being taken as substrate.…”

“…21 Likewise, the surface properties of ordinary materials can be converted by coating. For example, the surface wettability of materials can be converted by coating with polyelectrolyte complexes, 22 suitable environments for living cells can be created by the polyelectrolyte complex coating for cell culture, 23,24 and protein adsorption can be regulated by the coatings. [25][26][27] Electrostatic interaction between membranes and proteins influences the degree of adsorption of the protein; electrostatic attraction causes an increase in adsorption, 25 whereas electrostatic repulsion decreases the protein adsorption on the membrane.…”
