Uptake of pH-Sensitive Gold Nanoparticles in Strong Polyelectrolyte Brushes

Uptake of pH-Sensitive Gold Nanoparticles in Strong Polyelectrolyte Brushes

The impact of electrostatic attraction on the uptake of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into positively charged strong poly-[2-(Methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (PMETAC) polyelectrolyte brushes was investigated. In this work, PMETAC brushes were synthesized via surface-initiated atom tr...
