Southern Clay Products, Inc. (Gonzales, TX), supplied the natural sodium montmorillonite (MMT) (tradename Cloisite Na+) clay used in this study. MMT has a cationic exchange capacity of 0.926 mequiv g−1and a negative surface charge in deionized water.(45)Individual platelets have a reported density of 2.86 g cm−3, diameter range of 10−1000 nm (most haved≥ 200 nm) and thickness of 1 nm.(9)Branched polyethylenimine (PEI) (Mw= 25000 g mol−1andMn= 10000 g mol−1) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (Mw= 100000 g mol−1, 0.35 wt % in water) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI).

Deposited mass as a function of layers deposited was measured using a research quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) (Maxtek Inc., Cypress, CA). Polished Ti/Au crystals with a resonance frequency of 5 MHz from Maxtek were plasma cleaned using a PDC-32G (Harrick Plasma, Ithaca, NY) and used as deposition substrates for quartz crystal microbalance characterization.

Using a USB2000 UV-Vis spectrometer (Ocean Optics, Dunedin, FL), thin film absorbance was monitored at wavelengths between 190 and 900 nm. Fused quartz slides (Structure Probe Inc., West Chester, PA) were used as substrates for UV−vis characterization.

Thin film cross sections were imaged at calibrated magnifications using a JEOL 1200EX (Parbody, MA) transmission electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV. Carbon stabilized, Formvar coated 150 mesh nickel grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatlfield, PA) and polystyrene film with a thickness of 250 μm (Goodfellow, Huntington, England) were used for TEM. PS and PET(39)substrates were prepared for deposition by rinsing with deionized water, methanol, and water again before being dried with filtered air. PS substrates were then plasma cleaned prior to film deposition.(35)Prior to imaging, films deposited onto PS were coated with carbon on one side, embedded in epoxy prior to sectioning, and floated on ethylene glycol.

Thin film topographical phase image was obtained using a Nanosurf2 atomic force microscope (Nanoscience Instruments, Phoenix, AZ) in phase contrast mode with aT300R AFM probe (Vista Probes, Phoenix, AZ) at a free vibration amplitude of 0.1 V.

OTR testing was performed by MOCON (Minneapolis, MN) in accordance with ASTM D-3985, using an Oxtran 2/21 ML instrument at 23°C and 0% and 100% RH. PET film with a thickness of 179 μm (tradename ST505, produced by Dupont-Teijin) was purchased from Tekra (New Berlin, WI) and used as the substrate for OTR testing. Once cleaned, PET film was then corona treated to create a negative surface charge using a BD-20C Corona Treater (Electro-Technic Products, Inc., Chicago).This PET film has an OTR of approximately 8.6 cm3/(m2·day·atm) under dry conditions. Films created for OTR testing were heated immediately following deposition in an oven for 15 min at 70 °C.
