As a classical model of confined polymer systems, polymer brushes have potential applications in colloid stability, polymer self-assembly, tribology, and so on. We present herein a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) and click chemistry method to synthesize pH-responsive poly(4-vinylpyridine-b-polyethylene glycol)(P4VP-b-PEG) block polymer brushes on gold(Au) substrates. The changes of the morphologies, surface chemical composition and surface roughness of the as-prepared Au/P4VP-b-PEG polymer brushes treated by different pH solutions were further studied by frequency-dissipation quartz microbalance(QCM-D), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and atomic force microscopy(AFM), respectively. The results showed that P4VP-b-PEG block polymer brushes treated with different pH solutions exhibited stimuli-response behaviors. At pH=1.5, the P4VP segment was protonated, and the P4VP-b-PEG chain exhibited stretching conformation due to electrostatic repulsion. At pH=11.5, the P4VP segment was deprotonated, and the P4VP-b-PEG segment collapsed due to the loss of partial binding water.
