Polyelectrolyte multilayer films built from poly(L-lysine) and a two-component anionic polysaccharide blend
The buildup of polyelectrolyte multilayer films made from poly(L-lysine) (PLL) as a polycation and from a blend of two anionic polysaccharides, namely, beta-1,3 glycan sulfate (GlyS) and alginate (Alg), was investigated as a function of the mass fraction, x, of GlyS in the blend, at a constant total...

| Zusammenfassung: | The buildup of polyelectrolyte multilayer films made from poly(L-lysine) (PLL) as a polycation and from a blend of two anionic polysaccharides, namely, beta-1,3 glycan sulfate (GlyS) and alginate (Alg), was investigated as a function of the mass fraction, x, of GlyS in the blend, at a constant total weight concentration in polyanions. We find that the film thickness, after the deposition of a given number of layer pairs, reaches a minimum for x values lower than 0.1 (the position of this minimum could not be more precisely localized) and that the film thickness at intermediate values of x is the same as that of films built at the same concentration of GlyS in the absence of Alg (pure GlyS solution). Infrared spectroscopy in the attenuated total reflection mode shows that the weight fraction of GlyS in the multilayer films is much higher than its weight fraction, x, in the blend used to build the film. This preferential incorporation of GlyS over Alg is related to preferential interactions of GlyS as compared to Alg with PLL in solution, as measured by means of isothermal titration calorimetry. We also demonstrate that GlyS is able to displace Alg almost quantitatively from (PLL/Alg)n films but that in contrast Alg is not able to exchange GlyS from (PLL/GlyS)n films. These results, which combine adsorption from blended polyanion solutions, exchange of one polyanion already present in the film by the other in solution, and thermodynamic measurements, suggest that sulfated polymers are able to interact with polycations preferentially over polymers carrying carboxylated charged groups. These results give a first structural basis to the mechanism of preferential incorporation of a given polyanion with respect to another |
