We investigate the surface morphology of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) after drying. A buckling pattern is observed. PEMs are made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium (PDADMA) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) in 0.1 M NaCl with non-linear and linear growth regimes. When more PSS/PDADMA layer pairs are deposited, for PSS-terminated films the wavelength of the buckling pattern increased from 185 nm to 225 nm. For PDADMA-terminated films the wavelength was always greater. The buckling pattern is correlated with the elastic modulus of the film, which decreased with increasing film thickness. Annealing in high salt concentrations (0.5 -1.0 mol/l NaCl) decreased the surface roughness and increased the wavelength of the buckling pattern. However, for films containing mobile PSS, annealing caused a damped oscillation of the buckling pattern.
