UV-vis spectroscopy of the PAA-AgNPs and their incorporation into thin films. UV-vis spectroscopy of the PAA-AgNPs (yellow-orange coloration) and their incorporation into thin films using the LbL-E deposition technique as a function of the pH (7.0 or 9.0) of the dipping polyelectrolyte solutions (PAH and PAA-AgNPs).
