Switching of Strong Polyelectrolyte Brushes Induced by Changes in the Electrode Potential
ellipsometry measurements and dynamic measurements using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D). This knowledge is applied to determine the optimal hexacyanoferrate concentration for the switching of such brushes under an electric potential. Our findings reveal that switching under optimized conditions occurs within the millisecond range, showcasing the potential of this underrepresented switching trigger.
