Tuning 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 کاملControl of Ice Propagation by Using Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Coatings.
Ice propagation is of great importance to the accumulation of ice/frost on solid surfaces. However, no investigation has been reported on the tuning of ice propagation through a simple coating process. Herein, we study the ice propagation behavior on polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) surfaces coated with the layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition approach. We discover that ice propagation is strongly d...
متن کاملOn the monomer density of grafted polyelectrolyte brushes and their interactions.
Most of the modern theories of grafted polyelectrolyte brushes are valid only for moderate stretching of the polyelectrolyte. However, particularly at low ionic strength and high grafting densities, even a moderate charge of the polyelectrolyte can generate a strong stretching. A simple mean field model for strongly stretched grafted polyelectrolyte brushes is suggested, based on an approximate...

متن کاملStructure and collapse of a surface-grown strong polyelectrolyte brush on sapphire.
We have used neutron reflectometry to investigate the behavior of a strong polyelectrolyte brush on a sapphire substrate, grown by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from a silane-anchored initiator layer. The initiator layer was deposited from vapor, following treatment of the substrate with an Ar/H(2)O plasma to improve surface reactivity. The deposition process was characterized usi...
