Dielectric Properties of Polyelectrolyte Solutions

Dielectric properties of polyelectrolyte solutions have been studied experi­ mentally for more than thirty years, but progress in understanding these properties has been rather slow. A particularly unfavorable combination of experimental difficulties and unsettled theoretical problems has noticeably influenced both the extent of the work devoted to this subject and the pace in which explanation...

Static scattering from polyelectrolyte solutions

2014 The static scattering intensity from a system composed of charged, coiled polyions, counterions and coions is investigated theoretically. The polyion configuration is described by a wormlike chain form factor having a persistence length and an excluded volume parameter obtained from Odijk’s theory. Counterion condensation is accounted for in both, the interactions between polymer segments ...

Similarities Between Polyelectrolyte Gels and Biopolymer Solutions

Correspondence to: F. Horkay (E-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements and osmotic swelling pressure measurements are reported for polyelectrolyte gels and solutions under nearly physiological conditions. A synthetic polymer (sodium-polyacrylate) and three biopoly­ mers (DNA, hyaluronic acid, and polyaspartic acid) are studied. The neutron scatt...
