Abstract

Herein, we have demonstrated that the properties of both strong and weak polyelectrolyte brushes including hydration, stiffness, conformation, and wettability can be tuned by the hydrogen bonding between the bound counterions and the grafted chains beyond the hydronium and hydroxide ions. This will greatly extend the application of ionic hydrogen bond effects in polymer systems.
