Abstract

A new series of water-soluble conjugated aromatic polyimines containing sulfonate groups have been synthesized via polycondensation reaction between diamines and dialdehydes at room temperature. Self-assembled multilayer films consisting each polyimine as a polyanion and poly(diallyldimethylammonium hydrochloride) as a polycation were fabricated successfully by alternate deposition in corresponding aqueous solutions.
