Polyelectrolyte chains confined by oppositely charged macroions can significantly modify the interactions between them. This polyelectrolyte mediated interaction depends on various parameters characterizing the polyelectrolyte as well as the surface of the macroion and can be either repulsive or att

β¦ Synopsis
Polyelectrolytes are known to mediate significant forces between macroions, or charged colloidal particles. This review highlights the research efforts made to understand the underlying mechanisms, and to predict the impact of polyelectrolyte addition to a dispersion of macroions.

We investigate forces between two charged macroscopic surfaces where the intervening medium is composed of a uni-univalent electrolyte plus an additional, infinitely long polyelectrolyte chain. The level of the theory is the same as the usual Poisson-Boltzmann scheme, upgraded by a self-consistent i
The conformation of the photozyme poly(sodium styrenesulphonate-co-2-vinylnaphthalene) (PSSS-VN) was studied in dilute aqueous solution by performing viscosity and various light scattering (LS) measurements on four PSSS-VN samples of different molar mass (Jl?w). From an analysis of the sequence dist
