Vesicles composed of DMPC molecules fuse creating almost a perfect<br />
lipid bilayer when deposited on the pure, uncoated quartz block*<br />
(blue curves)<br />
When PEI polymer was added only after quartz was covered by the lipid<br />
bilayer, the PEI appeared <strong>to</strong> diffuse under the bilayer (red curves)<br />
