Viscoelastic Acoustic Response of Layered Polymer Films at Fluid-Solid Interfaces: Continuum Mechanics Approach

TLDR
In this article, the authors derived the general solution of a wave equation describing the dynamics of two-layer viscoelastic polymer materials of arbitrary thickness deposited on solid (quartz) surfaces in a fluid environment.
Abstract
We have derived the general solution of a wave equation describing the dynamics of two-layer viscoelastic polymer materials of arbitrary thickness deposited on solid (quartz) surfaces in a fluid environment. Within the Voight model of viscoelastic element, we calculate the acoustic response of the system to an applied shear stress, i.e. we find the shift of the quartz generator resonance frequency and of the dissipation factor, and show that it strongly depends on the viscous loading of the adsorbed layers and on the shear storage and loss moduli of the overlayers. These results can readily be applied to quartz crystal acoustical measurements of the viscoelasticity of polymers which conserve their shape under the shear deformations and do not flow, and layered structures such as protein films adsorbed from solution onto the surface of self-assembled monolayers.

Variations in Coupled Water, Viscoelastic Properties, and Film Thickness of a Mefp-1 Protein Film during Adsorption and Cross-Linking: A Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring, Ellipsometry, and Surface Plasmon Resonance Study

TL;DR: It is shown how quantitative data about the thickness, shear elastic modulus, and shear viscosity of the protein film can be obtained with the QCM-D technique, even beyond the Sauerbrey regime, if frequency (f) and energy dissipation (D) measurements measured at multiple harmonics are combined with theoretical simulations using a Voight-based viscoelastic model.

Intact Vesicle Adsorption and Supported Biomembrane Formation from Vesicles in Solution: Influence of Surface Chemistry, Vesicle Size, Temperature, and Osmotic Pressure†

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption kinetics of small unilamellar egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine vesicles were investigated by the quartz crystal microbalance−dissipation (QCM−D) technique, as a function of surface chemistry (on SiO2, Si3N4, Au, TiO2 and Pt), temperature (273−303 K), vesicle size (25−200 nm), and osmotic pressure.

Assembly of multicomponent protein films by means of electrostatic layer-by-layer adsorption

TL;DR: In this article, a multilayer films which contain ordered layers of more than one protein species were assembled by means of electrostatic adsorption mostly with positively charged poly(ethy1enimine) (PEI) or with negatively charged poly (styrenesu1fonate) (PSS).
