The layer‐by‐layer deposition of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and poly(acrylic acid) incorporating inorganic sheets of sodium montmorillonite clay leads to a stratified structure throughout the film interior, with micrometer‐thick polymer complex layers and thin clay strata (see picture; right: cross‐section).
