Layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition is a useful method for the preparation of ultra-thin films. Using this technique, very thin films, starting from few Angstroms up to few micrometers can be obtained. Lately, most of the polyelectrolyte applications have employed natural polymers, mainly anionic alginate (ALG) and cationic chitosan (CHI), which have been playing an important role in biomedical research. Besides their attractive biocompatibility, biodegradability, abundance and ease of processing, these polymers have a potential ability to mimic some biological microenvironments. Calcium phosphate compounds are also preferable materials because of their similarity to natural bone minerals, and used in orthopedic and dental applications as grafts, fillings, as carrriers for hormons, growth factors or drugs which all enhance the differentiation and proliferation of cells and in total formation of new bone tissue. Gelatin (GEL) is also an important polymer used in polyelectrolyte multilayers. Layer-by-layer growth of CHI/GEL and ALG can be a good candidate for local antibiotic treatment. In this work, firstly, multilayered nanocomposites were produced as LbL two-dimensional (2D) films by using chitosan (CHI) and alginate (ALG) as interacting polymers as well as some salt solutions to obtain nano size calcium phosphates niches within each layer. Optimum film formation conditions were determined by using different parameters such as pH of the medium, salt concentration and layer deposition order. The produced films were tested for Saos-2 cell attachment and proliferation. In the second part of the study, microlayer films were prepared via solvent casting method. These films contained three layers and some loaded with a model antibiotic namely ceftriaxone sodium (CS). The films were prepared either without drug as controls, or CS loaded in alginate layer and coded as CHI/ALG/CHI, CHI/ALG-CS/CHI, CHI-GEL/ALG/CHI-GEL and CHI-GEL/ALG-CS/CHI-GEL. Mechanical properties of the films and release kinetics of CS from the films were investigated. It was concluded that, formation of nano LbL films on implant surfaces to make them biocompatible is possible, and microfilms prepared by solvent casting can be good candidates as drug carrier devices.

Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 films on stainless steel by chemical solution deposition Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2004-01-01) The present work describes the preparation of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 thin films by chemical solution deposition. Lead acetate, zirconium propoxide and titanium isopropoxide were used as starting materials. Substrates used were stainless steel foils of 0.025 mm, thick (AISI 304). The preparation of stock solution and heat treatment procedure was described. Crack-free films were obtained by multilayer coating in which the viscosity of the solution was adjusted such that each layer was approximately 0.2 mum thick...

Layer-by-layer deposition of tannic acid and poly(2isopropyl-2-oxazoline) onto iron oxide nanoparticles Akbar, Majid; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017) Layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is a simple and unique technique for fabrication of thin films. It is possible to control the film properties during assembly and post-assembly steps. Stimuli responsive polymers are important building blocks for LbL assembly, especially for drug delivery applications of LbL films. Iron oxide nanoparticles have been of interest for biomedical applications such as bioimaging and/or drug delivery via magnetothermal trigger. This thesis study aimed to develop strategies for layer...
Free standing layer-by-layer films of polyethyleneimine and poly(l-lysine) for potential use in corneal stroma engineering Altay, Gizem; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Khademhosseini, Ali; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2011) In this study we fabricated free standing multilayer films of polyelectrolyte complexes for potential use in tissue engineering of corneal stroma by using the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach. In the formation of these LbL films negatively charged, photocrosslinkable (methacrylated) hyaluronic acid (MA-HA) was used along with polycations polyethyleneimine (PEI) and poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Type I collagen (Col) was blended in with PLL for improving the water absorption and cell attachment properties of the films....
Deposition and characterization of layer-by-layer sputtered AgGaSe2 thin films KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-15) Sputtering technique has been used for the deposition of AgGaSe2 thin films onto soda-lime glass substrates using sequential layer-by-layer deposition of GaSe and Ag thin films. The analysis of energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDXA) indicated a Ga-rich composition for as-grown samples and there was a pronounce effect of post-annealing on chemical composition of AgGaSe2 thin film. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that Ag metallic phase exists in the amorphous AgGaSe2 structure up to annealin...
