%X Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), which is frequently used in fabricating polyelectrolyte multilayer films, was studied by single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS). Plenty of force-extension curves with a long plateau were obtained in water, indicating that train-like structure was predominant when PAH was adsorbed on the substrate. It was found that the peak-type force-extension curves of PAH in water were not able to be fitted by the modified freely-jointed chain model. Additionally, there was a flat region in the derivative of force-extension curves. Thus, it was inferred that PAH chain in water was in a special conformation and underwent a "conformational transition" under the stretching of an external force. This phenomenon did not appear in the SMFS experiment in 1 mol/L urea solution, which indi-cated that urea was able to break the special conformation.
