Random polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in solution
The behavior of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. Various statistical charge distributions along the polyelectrolyte chains are considered: (i) smeared, where the charges are uniformly distributed along the chain. (ii) Annealed, where the charges are allowed to associate and dissociate from the chain. (iii) Permuted, where the total numb...
متن کاملDynamics of Collapse of flexible Polyelectrolytes and Polyampholytes
We provide a theory for the dynamics of collapse of strongly charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) and flexible polyampholytes (PAs) using Langevin equation. After the initial stage, in which counterions condense onto PE, the mechanism of approach to the globular state is similar for PE and PA. In both instances, metastable pearl-necklace structures form in characteristic time scale that is proportion...
متن کاملChain dimension of polyampholytes in solution and immobilized brush states
The dimensions and intermolecular interactions of surface-grafted and unbound, free polyampholytes, poly[3-(N-2methacryloyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethyl) ammonatopropanesulfonate] (PMAPS) and poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), were estimated in an aqueous NaCl solution over a wide range of salt concentrations (Cs). The free PMAPS and PMPC fractionated by a recycling preparative size...
متن کاملPolyelectrolytes in Solution and at Surfaces
This chapter deals with charged polymers (polyelectrolytes) in solution and at surfaces. The behavior of polyelectrolytes is markedly different from that of neutral polymers. In bulk solutions, i.e. disregarding the surface effect, there are two unique features to charged polymers: first, due to the presence of long-ranged electrostatic repulsion between charged monomers, the polymer conformati...
متن کاملPolyelectrolytes in Solution- Recent Computer Simulations
We present a short overview over recent MD simulations of systems of fully flexible polyelectrolyte chains with explicitly treated counter ions using the full Coulomb potential. The main emphasis is given on the conformational properties of the polymers, with a short discussion on counter ion condensation.
