pH-Controllable Enthalpically-Driven Interfacial Hydration of Strong Polyelectrolyte Brushes
< 0). Consequently, the pH-controllable interfacial hydration of the PSS brush is consistent with enthalpically driven hydration. Moreover, this pH-controllable, enthalpically driven interfacial hydration may extend to other SPB systems, enabling the key properties of SPBs pH-responsive. This work provides a thermodynamic perspective on the pH-controllable interfacial hydration of SPBs, and will pave the way for novel applications of SPBs in material science.
