Abstract

Bioinspired catalysts were obtained by assembling poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of different molecular weights and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. For PAA, the proximity between the carboxylate groups led to the appearance of two distinct mean pKa values of 4.6 and 6.8. The increase in pKa is a consequen...
