Enhanced dewatering of polyelectrolyte nanocomposites by hydrophobic polyelectrolytes

We demonstrate that increasing the hydrophobic environment around the charge center of a polyelectrolyte (PE) not only decreases the water content of an adsorbed PE layer but can even dewater up to ~50% of an initially hydrated substrate. The results of this work are expected to yield new stratagies...
