21. These multilayers are amorphous, e.g., see: Lösche, M.; Schmitt, J.; Decher, G.; Bouwman, W. G.; Kjaer, K. Macromolecules 1998, 31, 8893. In this work "layer" refers to the increment in thickness after exposure to one of the polyelectrolyte solutions and "layer pair" is used to describe a negative/positive "bilayer".

30. Unfortunately due to wide swings in refractive index between pure water and buffer we could not mimic exactly the typical procedure used for multilayering.
