Polyelectrolyte Cylindrical Brushes in Hairy Gels

We considered dispersions of cylindrical polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes with stiff backbones, and polymer-decorated nanorods with tunable solubility of the brush-forming PE chains that affected thermodynamic stability of the dispersions. We focused on thermo-induced and deionization-induced conformati...
