abstract = {The development of polymer-based structures is hindered due
to the difficulties in realizing well-defined modulated
structures without interpenetration of charged polymers. Two
types of polyelectrolyte multilayer structures, with and
without embedded layers of the biomolecule, glutamic acid,
are compared using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray and
neutron scattering techniques. Structure characterization of
polyelectrolyte multilayers focuses usually on the
arrangement along the surface normal. Using specular and
off-specular neutron scattering we get insight into the in-
and out-of-plane arrangement of the structure. A formation
of well-defined, smooth layers is observed in the structure
containing the biomolecule. This reduced roughness is
associated with a drastic decrease in chain mobility
responsible for interpenetration. In contrast, the
multilayer without the biomolecule forms an island-like
structure. Thus biomolecules can interrupt the propagation
of island-like structures at such interfaces which can be
effectively used in achieving well-defined supramolecular
layer structures out of charged polymers.},
