Switchable adhesion between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes
Adhesion is a well-studied phenomenon, mainly for its industrial importance. We consider a smart water-based adhesive that is switchable, i.e. the adhesion may be turned on and off by an environmental trigger, in this case the pH. The interaction investigated is between a weak polyacid hydrogel of p...
