Salt-regulated attraction and repulsion of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes towards polyelectrolyte multilayers.
Adsorption of colloidal particles presents an interesting alternative to the modification of surfaces using covalent coupling or physisorption of molecules. However, to tailor the properties of these materials full control over the effective particle-substrate interactions is required. We present a systematic investigation of the adsorption of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) onto polyel...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte-compression forces between spherical DNA brushes.
Optical tweezers are employed to measure the forces of interaction within a single pair of DNA-grafted colloids, dependent on the molecular weight of the DNA chains, and the concentration and valence of the surrounding ionic medium. The resulting forces are short range and set in as the surface-to-surface distance between the colloidal cores reaches the value of the brush height. The measured f...
متن کاملRheology of dilute and semidilute suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes
The viscosity, g, of dilute aqueous suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes is discussed. The spherical polyelectrolyte brushes consist of a solid polystyrene core of 100-nm diameter onto which linear poly(acrylic acid) chains are grafted. The relative viscosity, g/gS (gS is the viscosity of the solvent) of these suspensions is studied as a function of shear rate in the presence of dif...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte Multilayers: Towards Single Cell Studies
Single cell analysis (SCA) is nowadays recognized as one of the key tools for diagnostics and fundamental cell biology studies. The Layer-by-layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte assembly is a rather new but powerful technique to produce multilayers. It allows to model the extracellular matrix in terms of its chemical and physical properties. Utilization of the multilayers for SCA may open new avenues in...
متن کاملGiant permittivity and dynamic mobility observed for spherical polyelectrolyte brushes
We prcsent a study of the electrodynamic behavior of concentrated suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushcs (SPBs). The dynamic mobility of the SPBs exhibits giant values. Concomitantly, . the dielectric spectra of suspensions of these particlcs display enormous loss peaks in the kHz frequency range. The strong dielectric relaxation is a direct consequence of the inhomogeneity of the cou...
