The competition of interactions between charged groups of polyanions and polycations and their interaction with small counterions strongly affect the formation and stability of polyelectrolyte multilayers. This has consequences for the properties of polyelectrolyte multilayers like mechanics, polymer mobility and swelling in water. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
