Electrostatic stretching of grafted maleic acid copolymer chains

We report on the swelling behaviour of thin maleic acid copolymer films in dependence of pH and ionic strength. The response of the polymer films was studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. It was found that solution’s pH and ionic strength can be separately used to adjus...
