A recently discovered mechanism is exploited to form highly efficient, stable and biocompatible films by spreading aggregates composed of poly-l-lysine and sodium dodecyl sulfate on the surface of water. Reversible control of: (1) the surface monolayer coverage, (2) the switching on or off discrete extended structures, and (3) the extended structure coverage is demonstrated for the first time. The intricacy by which the film structures can be controlled is unprecedented and opens exciting potential to optimize properties by chemical design for novel biomedical transfer applications.
