  • Formation of smooth cellulose films (1.5-10 nm) at specific concentrations (0.07-0.5 wt%).
  • Film roughness increases with higher cellulose concentrations.
  • Polyelectrolyte type, amount, and adsorption symmetry critically affect cellulose bead adhesion.
  • Asymmetric polyelectrolyte coverage enhances adhesion, while symmetric coverage decreases it.

Conclusions:

  • Controlled deposition yields tunable cellulose film properties.
  • Polyelectrolyte surface modification offers a method to control cellulose adhesion.
  • Asymmetric polyelectrolyte adsorption is key for enhanced cellulose-based adhesion.
