Adsorption of Polyelectrolytes onto Charged Surfaces 61discussed in the literature for PEMs [205]: linear and non-linear. Furthermore,
new exotic dependences, which does not respect the classical rule of the LbL
assembly, have been described more recently [213].

polyanion (ρ(Sulfur)) layers in (PDADMAC + PSS)n multilayers with different ionic
strength. Notice that the increase of the ratio is a strong evidence of the existence of
extrinsic compensation.
