Abstract
Layer-by-Layer (LBL) self-assembled films of rose bengal (RB) have been fabricated onto quartz substrate by the alternative adsorption of polycation poly (amine hydrochloride) (PAH) and RB. UV–Vis absorption studies reveal the formation of RB dimmer in PAH-RB LbL films. Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) picture confirms the aggregation of RB molecules in LbL films. Almost 15 min is required to complete the interaction between RB and PAH molecules in the 1 bilayer LbL film. The dye (RB) was found to come off the film during the subsequent poly cation (PAH) deposition. As an alternative approach RB was anchored to the polycation PAH via physiadsorption and controlling the concentration of the combination of RB and PAH was used as polycation and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) as polyanion for film deposition. The absorption spectra after each deposition showed that there was no material loss during layer depositions via second method.
