Abstract

Modifying the composition of polyampholytes, which are comprised of charge-positive and charge-negative repeat units, directly contributes to trade-offs between charge and structure, which are externally regulated by solution pH and added salt. Here, the relative ratio of anionic and cationic comonomers is varied to tailor the stimuli-responsiveness of poly(methacrylic acid-co-N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (P(MAA-co-DEAEMA)) brushes to changes in solution pH and an added zwitterion. These systems display a strong dependence on excess repeating units of either type and the random incorporation appears to facilitate self-neutralization of charges. Pseudo-living growth with smooth comonomer incorporation is achieved using activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP), creating well-defined brushes. In situ ellipsometry measurements of solvated brush thickness indicate that at low and high pH, the brushes display polyelectrolyte behavior with a strong compositional dependence, but at intermediate pH values, the brushes show the characteristic collapse attributed to self-neutralization of polyampholytes. The polyampholyte brushes maintain these patterns of behavior across all com...Continue Reading
