Adjacent cationic–aromatic sequences yield strong electrostatic adhesion of hydrogels in seawater
Specific sequences are essential for the development of cationic polymers that can adhere to negatively charged surfaces in saline environments. Here, the authors show that copolymers with adjacent cation–aromatic sequences can be synthesized through cation–π complex-aided free-radical polymerizatio...
