Abstract
The development of new materials often requires obtaining novel coatings. A promising strategy is the self-assembly of layers that allow adding new functionalities, as well as, the implementation of the structure and the nanometric order without increasing its cost too much. Thus, the formation of coatings by layer-by-layer deposition techniques is a simple, versatile and low cost technique that is used for the formation of thin films by the alternating adsorption of complementary polymers such as those charged positively and negatively, or with hydrogen bond donor and receptor groups. Thin multilayer films can be used in various applications, some of the most relevant being summarized in this review, such as the manufacture of membranes, biomedical applications or the industrial food industry applications
