Formamide as a Robust Alternative to Water for Plasticizing Polyelectrolyte Complexes
S Hassoun, ZA Digby, N Abou Hamad… - …, 2024 - ACS Publications
Polyelectrolyte complexes, PECs, are glassy and brittle when dry but may be plasticized with
water. Although hydrated PECs contain a high proportion of water, many still exhibit a glass …
