Abstract
The counterion-mediated hydrogen bonding (CMHB) effect can be generated in polyelectrolyte systems when hydrogen bonds are formed between the bound counterions and polyelectrolyte chains. This Perspective mainly discusses the effect of CMHB on polyelectrolytes at the solid/water interface. The CMHB effect generated by the hydroxide (OH-) or hydronium (H3O+) counterions gives rise to a pH responsiveness of strong polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) whose strength can be modulated by the external salt concentration. Further studies have shown that the CMHB effect on SPBs can be extended beyond the OH- and H3O+ counterions and that the CMHB effect can be observed in the systems of weak polyelectrolyte brushes (WPBs) and polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). Based on the understanding of the mechanisms of the CMHB effect on polyelectrolytes at the solid/water interface, we have demonstrated that a range of important properties of SPBs, WPBs, and PEMs can be tuned by pH with the consideration of the CMHB effect. Future directions for the CMHB effect on polyelectrolytes are also discussed. The insights on the CMHB effect on polyelectrolytes at the solid/water interface would promote the development of smart interfacial polyelectrolyte materials in a wide range of fields.

Abstract
Stimulus-sensitive materials are of great fascination in surface and interface science owing to their dynamically tunable surface properties and/or morphologies. Herein, we have synthesized an azobenzene-containing polyimide (azo-PI) with enhanced chain flexibility for the fabrication of photosensitive surface patterns on a film/substrate wrinkle system or wrinkle-free devices. The phototriggered cis-trans isomerization kinetics of azobenzene groups in the novel azo-PI with various chain structures were systematically investigated. On the basis of the characteristics of stress relaxation that azobenzene reversible cis-trans isomerization induces in the wrinkled azo-PI film/substrate system, a variety of rewritable visual surface patterns with high resolution and a long legibility time (>30 days) could be easily constructed via visible-light irradiation, enabling the wrinkled azo-PI surfaces to be used as rewritable information storage media. Meanwhile, because of the visible-light irradiation strategy, these photoresponsive surfaces could find potential application in the fabrication of wrinkle-free flexible devices. This study not only sheds light on the influence of the azo-polymer chain structure on its photoresponsive behavior but also provides a versatile strategy for realizing tailor-made smart surface patterns on multilayer functional devices.

Abstract
The ionization degree, charge density, and conformation of weak polyelectrolytes can be adjusted through adjusting the pH and ionic strength stimuli. Such polymers thus offer a range of reversible interactions, including electrostatic complexation, H-bonding, and hydrophobic interactions, which position weak polyelectrolytes as key nano-units for the design of dynamic systems with precise structures, compositions, and responses to stimuli. The purpose of this review article is to discuss recent examples of nanoarchitectonic systems and applications that use weak polyelectrolytes as smart components. Surface platforms (electrodeposited films, brushes), multilayers (coatings and capsules), processed polyelectrolyte complexes (gels and membranes), and pharmaceutical vectors from both synthetic or natural-type weak polyelectrolytes are discussed. Finally, the increasing significance of block copolymers with weak polyion blocks is discussed with respect to the design of nanovectors by micellization and film/membrane nanopatterning via phase separation.

Abstract
Poly(diisopropylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDPA) is a pH- and thermally responsive water-soluble polymer. This study deepens the understanding of its phase separation behavior upon heating. Phase separation upon heating was investigated in salt solutions of varying pH and ionic strength. The effect of the counterion on the phase transition upon heating is clearly demonstrated for chloride-, phosphate-, and citrate-anions. Phase separation did not occur in pure water. The buffer solutions exhibited similar cloud points, but phase separation occurred in different pH ranges and with different mechanisms. The solution behavior of a block copolymer comprising poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) and PDPA was investigated. Since the PDMAEMA and PDPA blocks phase separate within different pH- and temperature ranges, the block copolymer forms micelle-like structures at high temperature or pH.

Abstract
Ion specific effect, which is also known as Hofmeister effect, has been reported in numerous systems including ionic surfactant aggregates. Acyl amino acid surfactants have attracted growing attentions in the field of novel surfactants research due to their environmentally benign characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different salts containing NH4+ and tetraalkylammonium (TAA+), where alkyl = methyl (TMA+), ethyl (TEA+), and propyl (TPA+), cations on the dilational rheological properties of interfacial film are stabilized by potassium N-cocoyl glycinate (KCGl). The interfacial behaviors were studied using oscillating drop shape analysis method. The interfacial tensions (IFTs) and dilational rheological parameters results illustrate that KCGl in the presence of salts has better interfacial activity and stronger intermolecular interaction, indicating that added cations contribute to denser molecular packing at oil-water interface. Ion specific effects were observed in the system. Among the cations, KCGl shows highest dilational modulus in the presence of NH4+. The overall interaction between cations and headgroups of KCGl decreases in the sequence NH4+ >TMA+ >TEA+ ≈TPA+, which follows Hofmeister series. The increasing hydrophobicity of TAA+ prevents the interaction between cations and KCGl's headgroup, and therefore prevent amphiphiles from packing closely at interface. The results present a theoretical origin for useful application of KCGl in cosmetics, petroleum and daily chemical industries.

Abstract
The ionic effects on synthetic polymers have attracted extensive attention due to the crucial role of ions in the determination of the properties of synthetic polymers. This review places the focus on specific ion effects, multivalent ion effects, and ionic hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity effects in synthetic polymer systems from solutions to brushes and gels. The specific ion effects on neutral polymers are determined by both the direct and indirect specific ion-polymer interactions, whereas the ion specificities of charged polymers are mainly dominated by the specific ion-pairing interactions. The ionic cross-linking effect exerted by the multivalent ions is widely used to tune the properties of polyelectrolytes, while the reentrant behavior of polyelectrolytes in the presence of multivalent ions still remains poorly understood. The ionic hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity effects not only can be applied to make strong polyelectrolytes thermosensitive, but also can be used to prepare polymeric nano-objects and to control the wettability of polyelectrolyte brush-modified surfaces. The not well-studied ionic hydrogen bond effects are also discussed in the last section of this review.

Abstract
A weak polyelectrolyte brush is composed of a layer of polyacids or polybases grafted by one end of their chains to a substrate surface. For such brush layers immersed in an aqueous solution, the dissociation behavior of the acidic or basic groups and the structural and physical properties of the brush layer will thus be strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. For a polyacid brush layer consisting of, e.g., poly(acrylic acid), this means that the chains in the brush layer will be charged at high pH and uncharged at low pH. However, theoretical scaling laws not only foresee the structural changes occurring in response to the pH-induced dissociation behavior but also how the dissociation behavior of the brush layer depends on the ionic strength of the aqueous solution and the density of acidic groups within the brush layer. We have herein employed spectroscopic ellipsometry and a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) to experimentally evaluate the theoretically predicted dissociation and structural behavior of PAA brushes. Spectroscopic ellipsometry allows us to study the brush thickness as a function of pH and ionic strength, while QCM-D gives us an opportunity to investigate the swelling behavior of PAA brushes at various penetration depths of propagating acoustic waves. Our studies show that the dissociation degree of the carboxylic acid groups in a PAA brush increases with increasing distance from the substrate. Moreover, the ionic strength enhances carboxylic acid dissociation, such that a higher ionic strength leads to a narrower distribution and higher average dissociation degree. In conclusion, our results provide an experimental verification of the theoretically predicted gradient in the degree of dissociation of the acid groups in weak polyacid brush layers and shows that at a pH value equal to approximately the average pKa value of the brush, the state of the acid groups varies from being almost uncharged to almost fully dissociated depending on the ionic strength and vertical position in the brush.

Abstract
In this work, poly(N,N'-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer films were polymerized on the surface of Au electrodes with a facile one-step method, and Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) were synchronously embedded in the films, designated as P(DMA-co-NIPA)/AuNCs/TPE. Ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (FDA), an electroactive probe in solution displayed inverse pH- and SO42--sensitive on-off cyclic voltammetric (CV) behaviors at the film electrodes. The electrocatalytic oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) mediated by FDA in solution could substantially amplify the CV response difference between the on and off states. Moreover, the two fluorescence emission (FL) signals from the TPE constituent at 450 nm and AuNCs component at 660 nm in the films also demonstrated SO42-- and pH-sensitive behaviors. Based on the aforementioned results, a 4-input/9-output biomolecular logic circuit was constructed with pH, Na2SO4, FDA and NADH as the inputs, and the CV signals and the FL responses at 450 and 660 nm at different levels as the outputs. Additionally, some functional non-Boolean devices were elaborately designed on an identical platform, including a 1-to-2 decoder, a 2-to-1 encoder, a 1-to-2 demultiplexer and different types of keypad locks. This work combines copolymer films, bioelectrocatalysis, and fluorescence together so that more complicated biocomputing systems could be established. This work may pave a new way to develop advanced and sophisticated biocomputing logic circuits and functional devices in the future.

Abstract
The swelling behavior of a hydrophobic poly(2diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDPA) brush immersed in aqueous solutions of single and mixed salts has been investigated using ellipsometry and numerical self-consistent field (nSCF) theory. As a function of solution ionic strength, the osmotic and salted brush regimes of weak polyelectrolyte brushes as well as substantial specific anion effects in the presence of K+ salts of Cl-, NO3-, and SCN- are found. For solutions containing mixtures of NO3- and Cl-, the brush swelling is the same as one would expect on the basis of the concentration-weighted average of the brush behavior in the single salt solutions. However, in mixtures of SCN- and Cl-, the swelling response is more complicated and substantial divergence from ideal behavior is observed. Mean-field theory shows excellent qualitative agreement with the ellipsometry findings. nSCF reveals that for the SCN-/Cl- cases the swelling behavior of the PDPA brush most likely arises from the predominant localization of the weakly hydrated SCN- within the brush compared to the more strongly hydrated Cl-.
