In this paper, we investigate the micelle (charge)-constrained collapse of a spherical poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brush.
Alkyltrimethylammonium alkanecarboxylates, [CxMe3N]+[Cy]−, with medium to long alkyl chains on both cation and anion (x,y = 6–10), were investigated in aqueous solution by density and zeta potential measurements, ITC, and DRS.
