26. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (Bruker). The cellulose derivatives had degrees of substitution of IPCC (2.1 isopentyl, 0.3 cinnamate, and 0.6 hydroxyl) and IPC (2.8 isopentyl, 0.2 hydroxyl) based on elemental analysis.
27. Transfer ratios of 1.00 ± 0.05 onto Si substrates hydrophobized with ammonium fluoride (x-ray experimants) or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (infrared studies) were obtained for all of the samples under the following conditions (temperature in degrees centigrade, surface concentration in angstroms squared per monomer, surface pressure in millinewtons per meter): PtBMA star (20, 22.9, 12), linear PtBMA (8 and 20, 22.7, 15). PtBA (8, 26.3, 15), IPCC (8, 63.0, 15 and 18), and IPC (8, 67.8, 18).
28. The periodic fluctuations seen in Fig. 3 represent Kiessig fringes, which arise from the interference between x-rays reflected from the Si-polymer and polymer-air interfaces. Knowing the position of the maxima, one can obtain the thickness of the film [P. Tippmann-Krayer, H. Möhwald, Yu. M. L'vov, Langmuir 7, 2298 (1991)]. A more detailed analysis obtained by directly fitting the experimental profiles with theoretical curves also yields the roughness of both the film and the substrate. For this study, we applied the latter technique using the methods and experimental set-up described in M. Schaub et al., Macromolecules 28, 1221 (1995).

31. IR spectroscopy was carried out on a Nicolet Magna 850 Fourier-transform with LB films (80 to 100 layers) deposited on Si hydrophobized with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane.

34. An easy and reliable test of whether a network forms is to take the cross-linked LB film and immerse it in a good solvent [M. Seufert, M. Schaub, G. Wenz, G. Wegner, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 340 (1995)]. When the film is not a network, the film is soluble and leaves the substrate.
