The adsorption of cationic polyelectrolytes (C-PAMs and PDACMAC) with different charge densities and molecular weights on silica and cellulose model surfaces was examined using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, QCM-D. The conformation and viscoelastic properties of the adsorbed polyelectrolyte layers were studied by modelling the data with the Q-Tools program. When comparing the adsorption behavior on cellulose and silica a clear difference both in adsorption kinetics of polyelectrolytes and the viscoelastic properties of the formed polyelectrolyte film was observed. On cellulose the polyelectrolyte films were viscous and more dissipative at the beginning of the adsorption but when the adsorption proceeded the layers became more rigid and stiffer, in contrast to the behavior on silica.
