Copolymer chemistry shapes water uptake and mechanics in polyelectrolyte complexes
What the study found Copolymer chemistry controls how much water polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs, materials made from oppositely charged polymers) absorb, and this affects their mechanical properties. The study also found that humidity and temperature influence PEC behavior in different ways. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that understanding these relationships helps bridge…
