Abstract: Feature film : Thin films made by exponential layer-by-layer growth display high diffusivity and can be readily infiltrated with inorganic nanoparticles. They can sequestrate molecular systems from solution as a function of the composition of their layers, while providing intense surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals (see picture).
