Abstract
A decomposable thin film comprising a plurality of polyelectrolyte layers of alternating charge, wherein decomposition of the thin film is characterized by degradation of at least a portion of the polyelectrolyte layers.
Claims27
A decomposable film comprising a plurality of polyelectrolyte layers of alternating first and second charge, wherein decomposition of the film is characterized by sequential removal of at least a portion of the polyelectrolyte layers by alternating delamination of polyelectrolyte layers having the first charge and degradation of polyelectrolyte layers having the second charge.
