We report on a thin polyelectrolyte film (mixed polyelectrolyte brush) with a gradual change of the composition (ratio between two different oppositely charged surface-grafted weak polyelectrolytes) across the sample. The gradient of surface composition creates a gradient in surface charge density and, consequently, a gradient of the wetting behavior. The gradient film is sensitive to a pH signal and can be reversibly switched via pH change.
我们报道了一种薄的聚电解质薄膜(混合聚电解质刷),其组成(两种不同带相反电荷的表面接枝弱聚电解质之间的比例)在整个样品上呈逐渐变化。表面组成的梯度产生了表面电荷密度的梯度,进而产生了润湿行为的梯度。这种梯度薄膜对pH信号敏感,并且可以通过pH变化进行可逆切换。
