Nanoparticle decoration of the biopolymer was accomplished by placing a concentrated solution of the nanoparticlcs in dimethylsulfoxide onto the PLL film for about 20 min, after which it was rinsed in dimethylsulfoxide and then dichloromethane. From the molecular weight, the average length of the PLL is about 30 nm. Therefore, each polymer can accommodate about seven or eight nanoparticles.
