Graphical Abstract

Mit einer einfachen Prozedur gelingt der kovalente schichtweise Aufbau (Layer-by-Layer, LbL) von homodifunktionellem H2N-Poly(dimethoxysilan)-NH2 auf SiO2-Oberflächen. Man erhält robuste LbL-Filme von optischer Qualität (siehe Bild, Photo links) trotz Verwendung nicht gereinigter kommerzieller Ausgangsmaterialien. Die Filme zeigen ein Solvensgedächtnis bezüglich ihres Quellverhaltens in den Lösungsmitteln der entsprechenden Polymere.
