The role of polyelectrolyte brushes in tunable synaptic devices
Esli Diepenbroek, Leon A. Smook, Sissi de Beer
With the ever-increasing digitization of society, the development of materials with low-power memory storage -similar to synapses- is becoming more relevant. The field of iontronic…

The reentrant condensation of polyelectrolytes induced by diluted multivalent salts: A mean-field level revisiting
Huaisong Yong, Bilin Zhuang, Sissi de Beer
We study the reentrant condensation of polyelectrolytes in dilute solutions of small multivalent salts, whose phase-transition mechanism remains poorly understood. Motivated by rec…

Millisecond-resolved infrared spectroscopy study of polymer brush swelling dynamics
Koen F. A. Jorissen, Lars B. Veldscholte, Mathieu Odijk +1
We present the study of millisecond-resolved polymer brush swelling dynamics using infrared spectroscopy with a custom-built quantum cascade laser-based infrared spectrometer at a…
