General description

Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) is a water-soluble cationic polymer that can be prepared from diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride via free radical polymerization.

It is a positively charged polyelectrolyte that finds application in various fields such as paper manufacturing, the mining industry, water treatment, protein immobilization, separation of biomolecules, removal of bacteria, flocculation of silica and latex particles, and nanocapsule shell formation.

Application

The directional cell migration plays a crucial role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. It can be controlled by the gradient cues immobilized on the substrate. The poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) multilayers were post-treated in a gradient

Compact and linearly growing polyelectrolyte multilayer films have been used to suppress desorption of drugs, nanoparticles or proteins from underlying polyelectrolyte multilayer films as well as to significantly change their mechanical properties. The polyelectrolyte based capping layers are however cumbersome

Diffraction-limited, high-contrast photopatterning of the photoluminescence of layer-by-layer films comprising CdSe@CdS@ZnS quantum dots and polyviologen is reported. The photoluminescence of the quantum dots is initially quantitatively quenched due to ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer to polyviologen. Photopatterning is achieved by high-power

The cell migration plays a crucial role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes and can be regulated by the cell-substrate interactions. We found previously that the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulphonate) (PSS)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) multilayers post-treated in 1-5 M NaCl solutions
