Photoinduced polyelectrolyte complexation for the formation of stable films with reversible crosslinking† Thin films formed by complexation of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes have significant potential in applications such as separation membranes, biocompatible or anticorrosion coatings, and drug delivery systems. While layer-by-layer deposition is a reliable method for producing conformal films, this multi-step process limits scalability.
