Abstract
Polypeptide multilayer films are promising for the development of coatings for implant devices, biosensors, and artificial cells. This paper discusses aspects of the physics of these films. Three sub-topics in the physics of peptide adsorption in multilayer film assembly covered here are peptide structure at the film/solid support interface, adsorbed layer thickness, and dynamics of peptide adsorption. A synopsis of work in these areas is preceded by an introduction to the subject and a review of some aspects of polymer theory.
