In an application of the combination of microfluidics with in-situ GISAXS (grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering) we investigate the early stages of the attachment of gold nanoparticles to polyelectrolyte layers. The study clearly shows the differing kinetics of the surface coverage of slightly negativly charged nanoparticles onto negatively charged layers of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and positively charged polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH), respectively. With the microfocussed beam of a highly brillant x-ray third generation synchrotron a high time resolution is achieved. The microfluidic investigation with a special designed cell [1] is accompanied by GISAXS dip coating experiments [2] also performed in-situ.
