Ion-specific ice propagation behavior on polyelectrolyte brush surfaces

Abstract

Ice propagation is an essential step when freezing happens on hydrated surfaces. In this work, we choose polyelectrolyte brushes (PB), whose hydration ability can be controlled by simply exchanging the counterions, to demonstrate the distinct ice propagation mechanism on differently hydrated surfaces.
