Fig. 4From: Layer-by-Layer Assembled Films Composed of “Charge Matched” and “Length Matched” Polysaccharides: Self-Patterning and Unexpected Effects of the Degree of Polymerizationa Surface morphology of the LbL-films of (CMCS/CS)n composed of 2.5, 5.5, 10.5, and 20.5 layer pairs using chitosan low molecular weight (CS LMW) or medium molecular weight (CS MMW). Note that all n values correspond to an uneven number of layers and so all films terminate with a layer of CMCS. b Surface morphology of the LbL-films of (CMCS/CS)n composed of 2, 5, 10, and 20 layer pairs at the initial pH solution using chitosan of low molecular weight (CS LMW) and medium molecular weight (CS MMW).
