Theory and simulations of rigid polyelectrolytes
We present theoretical and numerical studies on stiff, linear polyelectrolytes within the framework of the cell model. We first review analytical results obtained on a mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann level, and then use molecular dynamics simulations to show, under which circumstances these fail quantitatively and qualitatively. For the hexagonally packed nematic phase of the polyelectrolytes we c...
متن کاملThermodynamic Theory of Counterion Association in Rigid Polyelectrolytes
We present a new theory of rodlike polyelectrolyte solutions. It is found that at low densities, and below teInperature T~i, the counterions associate with the polyions forIning clusters consisting of one polyion and n counterions. The distribution of du8ters sizes is Gaussian, leading to strong logarithmic corrections to the liIniting laws obtained by Manning. In the Inathelnatical limit of in...
متن کاملInteracting rigid polyelectrolytes
The persistence length of charged linear polymers in semidilute solution must increase substantially upon addition of salt. For very long polymers the persistence length increases as the salt concentration to the 5/2 power provided this salt concentration is not too large. In deriving this scaling we correct our previous prediction in light of a recent paper by Barrat and Joanny, and in agreeme...

متن کاملMolecular Dynamics simulations of rod-like polyelectrolytes
We present theoretical and numerical results on stii, linear polyelec-trolytes within the framework of the cell model. With the help of an innec-tion point criterium we discuss counterion condensation for systems with added salt. Molecular dynamics simulations of the cell model are used to show, under which circumstances the mean-eld Poisson-Boltzmann theory fails qualitatively. We present meas...
