Abstract

The invention relates to a method for identifying a first polymer (4, 7) which is bonded to a first phase (5) that reflects electromagnetic waves. Said method comprises the following steps: (a) bringing the first polymer (4, 7) into contact with a second polymer (3, 8), which is bonded to a solid second phase (1) by metallic clusters (2), said second phase being permeable to electromagnetic waves; (b) irradiating the second phase (1) with electromagnetic waves; and (c) determining the change in the properties of the reflected electromagnetic waves.
