The synthesis and processing of ultrathin polymer films by stepwise adsorption from solution has enjoyed rapid developments in recent years, such that multilayer architectures can now be designed with nano-precision, while electrostatic adsorption of oppositely charged polymers has been used to produce optically and electrically functional polymers. The authors present the highlights of these developments in this report, before summarizing their own results from polymerization-induced adsorption of films onto solid surfaces.
