Layer-by-Layer Fabrication of PAH/PAMAM/Nano-CaCO3 Composite Films and Characterization for Enhanced Biocompatibility by Naemi Tonateni Shifeta, Shindume Lomboleni Hamukwaya, Qi An, Huiying Hao, Melvin Mununuri Mashingaidze

“…It was found that the as-prepared elastic moduli of the resultant (PAH/PAMAM)n-CaCO3 (where n represents the number of bilayers) composite films varied from 1.40 to 23.70 GPa for different degrees of cross-linking when 0.1 M nano-CaCO3 particles were incorporated into the polymer matrix. The highly cross-linked (PAH/PAMAM)15-CaCO3 composite film had the highest recorded elastic modulus of 23.70 GPa, while it was observed that for all the composite films fabricated for the present study, the addition of the nano-CaCO3 particles approximately doubled the elastic modulus regardless of the degree of polymerization. …”
