Polyelectrolyte film was built by 'Layer by Layer' method. After a pirhana and PEI primer pre-treatment, a standard Surf was successively dipping in poly(sodium-4-styrene sulfonate), PSS and Poly(allylamine hydrochloride), PAH aqueous solutions. A microstructuration covering 20 to 50% of the surface is observed. The Sarfus image shows this structuration on PEI/(PSS/PAH)2 layer.
