Structure of a diblock copolymer adsorbed at the hydrophobic solid/aqueous interface: Effects of charge density on a weak polyelectrolyte brush

We have used neutron reflection to study the effects of pH and added electrolyte on the structure of a weak polyelectrolyte brush anchored by means of a hydrophobic block to a hydrophobic surface. The copolymer was poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-block-methyl methacrylate) (poly-(DMAEMA-b-M...
