Abstract

This paper describes the conversion of poly(ethylene oxide) into a polyelectrolyte by use of an ionic linker strategy, and its subsequent use in fabricating polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). The resulting thin films were found to exhibit reverse size-selectivity, in which the permeation of a relatively large CO2 molecule was favored over He. The potential of this new approach for modifying the bulk properties of PEMs is briefly discussed.
