Electrical Stimuli-Responsive Decomposition of Layer-by-Layer Films Composed of Polycations and TEMPO-Modified Poly(acrylic acid).

ABSTRACT: We previously reported that layer-by-layer (LbL) film prepared by a combination of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl N-oxyl (TEMPO)-modified polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were decomposed by application of an electric potential. However, there have been no reports yet for other polycationic species. In this study, LbL films were prepared by combining various polycationics (PEI, poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), poly(diallydimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer) and TEMPO-PAA, and the decomposition of the thin films was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and constant potential using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (eQCM). When a potential was applied to an electrode coated on an LbL thin film of polycations and
