The controlled growth of surface-modifying polymer films by electrodeposition often fails because the lack redox activity these compounds. Here, electroactive complexants help to electrodeposit non-electroactive polymers. Hence, we investigate counterion-induced polyelectrolytes: three quaternized poly(N,N-dialkylaminoethyl methacrylate)s (qPDAAEMA), in particular their methyl, ethyl, and isopr...
