Turning the chitosan surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by layer-by-layer electro-assembly

Abstract

By employing an electrostatic generator to enhance or reduce the van der Waals force in a novel layer-by-layer electro-assembly process, this work proves that the chitosan surface can be prepared with tunable wettability, e.g. from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.
