Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) is a water-soluble cationic polymer that contains repeating units of allylamine, with the hydrochloride salt form making it positively charged. It is widely used in various applications, particularly in layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly for creating multilayered thin films. PAH’s positive charge allows it to interact electrostatically with negatively charged molecules, making it useful in fields such as drug delivery, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. It can also be employed in water treatment processes for removing contaminants or modifying surface properties. PAH is valued for its versatility, ease of use, and biocompatibility in many applications.
