Abstract
The static scattering properties of weakly charged copolymers in solution are investigated. The cases of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical diblocks are considered and various structure factors calculated. The electrostatic interaction is introduced via a combination of the random‐phase approximation and the Debye‐Hückel approximation. Several cases of charge distributions are considered. In particular, diblock copolymers made of neutral and charged monomers and oppositely charged monomers are considered. All the cases deal with systems in the homogeneous disordered phase where no mesophase structures or micelle formations can be observed.

## Abstract The mode‐mode coupling approximation (MMCA) is applied to describe the behavior of the reduced viscosity η~r~ from ternary mixtures of two weakly charged polyelectrolytes in solution. Similarly (ε = +1) as well as oppositely (ε = −1) weakly charged polyions are discussed in this work. T
