Synthesis and swelling behavior of a weak polyacid brush

Biesalski, M., Johannsmann, D., Rühe, J.·2002·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

We describe the synthesis and the swelling behavior of a weak polyacid brush attached to a solid surface. Monolayers of poly methacrylic acid are generated by using self-assembled monolayers of an azo initiator and radical chain polymerization of methacrylic acid monomer at the surface of a planar substrate in situ. The thickness of the resulting surface-attached polyelectrolyte brush can be adjusted between 5 and 400 nm in the dry, collapsed state. The swelling behavior in water as a function of pH and salt concentration is investigated by multiple-angle null-ellipsometry. At high salt concentrations the brush thickness decreases due to electrostatic screening. At low concentration, however, an increase of thickness with ion concentration is found.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
