Chemical Design of Spherical Polyelectrolyte Brushes for Efficient Scale Inhibition.

The addition of scale inhibitors is an effective and economical strategy for mitigating scaling in water treatment. Spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) have garnered attention for scale control because of their high specific surface area, tunable interfacial functionality, and ability to accommodate a high density...
