In this paper, we describe theoretically a most remarkable situation where end-charged polyelectrolyte brushes significantly enhance the diffusioosmotic transport in nanochannels by localizing the electric double layer charge density away from the channel walls…this is Raja’s first paper, Harnoor’s 6th, and Haoyuan 8th paper from the group. A BIG congratulations to all of them !!!!!
