متن کاملTemperature responsive behavior of polymer brush/polyelectrolyte multilayer composites.
The complex interaction of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) physisorbed onto end-grafted polymer brushes with focus on the temperature-responsive behavior of the system is addressed in this work. The investigated brush/multilayer composite consists of a poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PSS/PDADMAC) multilayer deposited onto the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-b-dimet...
متن کاملEffects of counterion fluctuations in a polyelectrolyte brush.
We investigate the effect of counterion fluctuations in a single polyelectrolyte brush in the absence of added salt by systematically expanding the counterion free energy about Poisson-Boltzmann mean-field theory. We find that for strongly charged brushes, there is a collapse regime in which the brush height decreases with increasing charge on the polyelectrolyte chains. The transition to this ...
متن کاملTuning ice nucleation with counterions on polyelectrolyte brush surfaces
Heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN) on ionic surfaces is ubiquitous in a wide range of atmospheric aerosols and at biological interfaces. Despite its great importance in cirrus cloud formation and cryopreservation of cells, organs, and tissues, it remains unclear whether the ion-specific effect on ice nucleation exists. Benefiting from the fact that ions at the polyelectrolyte brush (PB)/water i...
متن کاملCurvature elasticity of a grafted polyelectrolyte brush.
The curvature elasticity of a polyelectrolyte brush monolayer attached to curved surface is investigated theoretically. An analytical method based on the strong-stretching theory for a Gaussian chain is developed to calculate the elastic modulus induced by a polyelectrolyte brush. In particular, the scaling relations for the bending or Gaussian modulus with respect to system parameters related ...
