Article Synopsis
- Developing tough adhesives with improved strength and ductility is complex, and this study introduces a strategic method using weak electrostatic interactions to enhance adhesive performance.
- Two types of polyzwitterions (PZIs), one bottlebrush (BB-PSBMA) and one linear (L-PSBMA), were created, both showing similar adhesion strength despite their different structures.
- The addition of NaCl significantly influenced the adhesive properties, with BB-PSBMA becoming more ductile at moderate concentrations, while L-PSBMA showed ductility regardless of salt levels, highlighting the importance of polymer structure and salt concentration in adhesive design.
