A new class of pH-responsive hydrophobically associating ionic polymers (cationic polyelectrolytes, anionic polyelectrolytes, and polyzwiterions) has been synthesized using Butler's cyclopolymerization technique involving hydrophilic and hydrophobic diallylammonium salts and sul…

In this thesis, we examine a variety of engineered interfaces: polymer thin films—in the morphologies of brushes and LbL bilayers—and polymer membranes.
Crystalline polymer/salt complexes can conduct, in contrast to the view held for 30 years. The alpha-phase of the crystalline poly(ethylene oxide)₆:LiPF₆ is composed of tunnels formed from pairs of (CH₂-CH₂-O)ₓ chains, within which the Li⁺ ions reside and along which the latter …
