Abstract:Molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation results show that polyelectrolyte multilayers deposited from salt free solutions on charged planar surfaces are thermodynamically stable structures that form spontaneously regardless of the method of deposition. The simulation also shows that the polyelectrolyte multilayers are "fuzzy" in nature and molecules in one layer interpenetrate other layers. The influence of chain length, surface charge, and polymer charge is also investigated. Layer thickness was found to be independent of chain length. The ratio of surface to chain charge was found to influence the thickness of the first layer and the amount of polymer absorbed in the first few layers. The thickness of the subsequent layers was found to be independent of the charge ratio.
