Abstract EN
The formation of polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMSs)-based layer-by-layer multilayer ultrathin films on charged surfaces prepared from water and phosphate buffer solutions has been investigated.
The multilayer films prepared under these conditions showed different surface roughness.
Nanoscale islands and network structures were observed homogeneously on the multilayer film prepared from pure water solutions, which is attributing to the ultrahydrobic property of the multilayer film.
The formation of nanoscale islands and network structures was due to the aggregation of PDMS-based polyelectrolytes in water.
This work provides a facile approach for generating ultrahydrophobic thin films on any charged surfaces by PDMS polyelectrolytes.
