If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jane Snaith. There has been tremendous progress in fabrication of ultrathin films with nm precision as regards internal structure and roughness. The versatility and modularity of film prepara-tion by alternating adsorption of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes has then enabled to introduce multifunctionality and stability into these films. This will be presented concern-ing the following issues: - Optically active polymers and nanoparticles will be introduced to assemble structures for photoelectric energy conversion. - Insertion of suitable enzymes leads to amperometric biosensors. - Since the films can be made sensitive to changes in electrochemical environment or pH on may use them as anticorrosion coatings since they may release a corrosion inhibitor on demand. - Via metallic nanoparticles they may be made IR and heat sensitive. This can be made use of in controlled release from coatings, e.g. to stimulate the growth of adjacent cells. This talk is part of the Chemistry Departmental-wide lectures series.
