A detailed structural study, including monomer and fluid charge distributions, is provided. The influence of a short range attraction between the polycations and the negatively charged substrate is also considered. We demonstrate that the building up of multilayer structures is highly prohibited mainly due to the high entropy penalty stemming from the low dimensionality of the substrate at strong curvature.18 pages - 7 (main) EPS figs - revtex4 - to appear in J.
