Thin films of light-responsive polymers for sensing and surface patterning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The kinetics of electrostatic layer-by-layer adsorption of a weakly charged polycation, poly(allylamine hydrochloride), PAH, and a polyanion containing an azobenzene chromophore, P-Azo, was studied using UV-vis spectroscopy and ellipsometry. The thickness of the multilayer films was first measured over the adsorption pH range of 3 to 11, and the growth of multilayers was examined as function of time and concentration. Films assembled in bath pH near that of their pKa value produced both the thickest films, and displayed remarkably rapid adsorption isotherms. In some PAH/P-Azo films a significantly large thickness was achieved in less than 5 seconds, which is more than two orders of magnitude faster than what is usually observed. We show that this anomalously rapid adsorption is a consequence of the weak acid-base nature of the layers. Self-assembled polymer films containg azobenzene groups are interesting materials as the chromophores can be addressed as light-responsive groups for surface patterning and sensing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
