## SYNOPSIS The discontinuous transition between dense and dilute phases in polyelectrolyte gels is observed in Bond-Fluctuation Method Monte Carlo simulations of gels. The transition is driven by the competition between local attractive interactions of a poor-quality solvent and global repulsive

β¦ Synopsis
The lnlluence of the polygon charge densely on the osmollc behawor of hncar polyelectrolyies IS stu&ed by the Monte Carlo method and by the mticd Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The polpon IS assumed to be either a uniformly or dwxetely charged cyhnder placed along the axis of tbe cyhndncal cd conmmmg only countenons As a result, osmotir saturation 1s observed at Hugh polygon charge density In smx~lat~ons of solut.~ons w~tb dwalent countenons the maxunum m the omo~lc pressure versus degree of iomzation IS observed m analogy ~rlth recent stu&es of spherical and planar systems The correlation between the osmouc coefficient and the acceptance rate observed III sunulatons IS reported.

## Abstract We present results of offβlattice Monte Carlo simulations of weakly charged chains where the charged beads interact with a screened Coulomb potential of DebyeβHΓΌckel type. The behaviour of the mean square endβtoβend distance and meanβsquare radius of gyration versus chain length is disc
In this investigation surface force, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ellipsometry techniques have been used to study the adsorption of a low-charge-density cationic polyelectrolyte on negatively charged surfaces. It is shown that the low cationicity of this polyelectrolyte induces an adsorption
