Polystyrene replica is realized preparing polystyrene and depositing the polymer onto a nanostructured porous silicon matrix used as a template. The thin polymer film is peeled off from the substrate and exposed to organic vapours. Swelling affects the optical reflectance and, by a specially adjusted set-up, the kinetic of the vapour desorption is measured in order to investigate replicas as drug delivery systems.
