Self-assembled redox polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes: Nanostructure and electron transfer characteristics of supramolecular films with built-in electroactive chemical functions

The mesostructural and electrochemical characterization of a redox-active polyelectrolyte-surfactant complex formed by polyallylamine tagged with an osmium complex and dodecylsulfate is presented. X-ray reflectivity (XRR), grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), X-ray photoelectron...
