Based on the results presented herein, we will utilize the pH-dependent solution characteristics of such materials for their use in hydrogels as charged stickers to induce reversible crosslinking, as already investigated from a theoretical point of view. On the other hand, longer PDha will allow for subsequent modification towards multi-functional materials and their use in sensing based on post-polymerization modification of the highly functionalized PDha part. DLS measurements were performed on solutions at c = 0.2 mg/mL at scattering angles of 30° -150° using a light scattering setup equipped with an ALV-SP125 goniometer, an ALV/LSE5004 multi tau correlator, a fiber optical ALV/High QE APD avalanche photodiode with pseudo-cross correlation (ALV-Laservertriebsgesellschaft mbH, Langen, Germany) and a uniphase He/Ne laser (632.8 nm, Thorlabs Inc).
