New MONET Publication in Journal of Polymer Science

A team from the Craig and Olvera de la Cruz labs report a polyelectrolyte handle for single-molecule force spectroscopy that offers a combination of high attachment forces, good success in obtaining a high-force attachment, a non-fouling detachment process that allows for repetition, and specific attachment locations along the polymer analyte. The polyelectrolyte handle approach will prove useful for selected applications in covalent polymer mechanochemistry.
