(a) Snapshots of the appearance of moist- and dry-PSx(NH3+Cl−). (b) Storage and loss moduli changes of PSx(NH2) (blue) and PSx(NH3+Cl−) (red) during the drying process. (c) Storage modulus of the moist- or dry-state of the polysiloxanes. (d) Force curve of dry-PSx(NH3+Cl−) at one point (left) and its Young’s modulus histogram at 100 points (right). Black and orange lines in the left figure show the approach and retraction processes to the film, respectively.
