Long-Range Attraction in Polyelectrolyte Solutions
The recently discovered attractive force between hydrophobic surfaces is incorporated in a theory of polyelectrolyte solutions. Ita influence on the second and third virial coefficients is estimated. Binary collisions between two polyions are virtually unaffected by attractive forces of long range whereas the impact on the third virial coefficient is enormous. The theoretical coefficients are c...
متن کاملLateral Structure Formation in Polyelectrolyte Brushes Induced by Multivalent Ions
We provide a theoretical model for the collapse of polyelectrolyte brushes in the presence of multivalent ions, focusing on the formation of lateral inhomogeneties in the collapsed state. Polyelectrolyte brushes are important in a variety of applications, including stabilizing colloidal particles and lubricating surfaces. Many uses rely on the extension of the densely grafted polymer chains fro...
متن کاملLong-range many-body polyelectrolyte bridging interactions.
We investigate polyelectrolyte bridging interactions mediated by charged, flexible, polyelectrolyte chains between fixed cylindrical macroions of opposite charge in a two-dimensional hexagonal crystalline array. We show that in the asymptotic regime of small macroion density, the polyelectrolyte-mediated attraction is long range, falling off approximately linearly with the macroion array densit...

متن کاملSalt-Induced Swelling and Volume Phase Transition of Polyelectrolyte Gels
A theoretical model of polyelectrolyte gels is presented to study continuous and discontinuous volume phase transitions induced by changing salt concentration in the external solution. Phase diagrams are constructed in terms of the polymer–solvent interaction parameters, external salt concentration, and concentration of fixed charges. Comparisons with previous experiments for an ionized acrylam...
