Abstract
The modeβmode coupling approximation (MMCA) is applied to describe the behavior of the reduced viscosity Ξ·~r~ from ternary mixtures of two weakly charged polyelectrolytes in solution. Similarly (Ξ΅ = +1) as well as oppositely (Ξ΅ = β1) weakly charged polyions are discussed in this work. The variation of Ξ·~r~ with the total polyelectrolyte concentration C~T~ exhibits a peak. The position and the height of this peak show for a given concentration of added salt C~S~ a sensitive variation with: the charge parameters (degrees of ionization) f~1~ and f~2~ of both polyelectrolytes, the proportion of polyelectrolyte 1 within the mixture (x = C~1~/C~T~) and the Flory interaction parameter Ο~F~ between monomeric units of different species. This calculation is presented within the framework of the Rouse model where no hydrodynamic interactions are taken into account.
