“…Synthesis and structure-property relationships of voltage, current, electrode design, DC/AC signals, cation, and temperature on viscoelastic properties have been previously reported. [22,26,28,[30][31][32] Electric fields are hypothesized to reduce diazirine to a reversible and semi-stable diazirinyl radical (t 1 = 2 = 46 s), that then transitions to a shortlived (6 ns) carbene intermediate. [22,26] The primary evidence supporting this mechanism is diazirine decay, nitrogen gas emission, and rheological viscoelastic transition from viscous to elastic stress deformation (aka gelation) of the high solute (� 50 %) PAMAM-diazirine formulations.…”
