Abstract
We report on the influence of ionic strength of polyelectrolyte solutions on the growth of multilayers made of polyvinylsulfate and a series of aromatic ionenes of decreasing charge density. Stable multilayers growth was only possible for polyelectrolytes of sufficiently high charge density, confirming the existence of a critical charge density for the formation of multilayers. We also show that, for systems near the critical charge density, the addition of salt to the solution may result in a transition from unstable to stable multilayer growth.
