We adjust the charge gradient by varying the MI concentration in solution and the process time. The thickness of the parent PDMAEMA film does not affect the diffusion of MI through and the reaction kinetics in the films. Instead, the diffusion of MI through the gaseous phase constitutes the limiting step in the overall process.American Chemical SocietyJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/80476https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/80476/1/Charge%20Density%20Gradients%20of%20Polymer%20Thin%20Film%20by%20Gaseous%20Phase%20Quaternization.pdfACS macro letters921581622020-02-18enginfo:doi/10.1021/acsmacrolett.9b00930This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in ACS macro letters, copyright c American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.
