A series of linear and star poly(acrylic acids) ( L PAA and star PAAs) were synthesized to explore the effect of molecular architecture on the stratification and polymer dynamics of electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) films. Studies of LbL deposition of L PAA and star PAAs with poly[2-(dimethyl amino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) at acidic pH revealed an ~30 % increase in film dry thickness with increased polymer branching. Consistent with a greater mass of star polymer deposited within the films, in situ ellipsometric measurements of PAA uptake from solution revealed ~ 3.5-fold greater diffusion coefficients for 8-arm PAA in comparison to linear PAA. For comparison, the dynamics of the linear PDMAEMA partner was explored via neutron reflectometry (NR) studies of stacked multilayers containing hydrogenated and deuterated polycations, h PDMAEMA and d PDMAEMA. The stacked multilayers deposited from low-ionic-For
