Abstract
The synthesis of a photocrosslinkable polycation and its use in the assembly of alternating polyelectrolyte multilayers are described. Characterization by UV/VIS spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) reveals the influence of the crosslinking on the physical properties of the build-ups. Remarkably, the assembly of such multilayer structures is not only possible on hydrophilic substrates, but also on apolar poly(propylene). In this case, the crosslinkable polycation turns out to be especially useful to obtain stable, solvent resistant coatings.
