Polyelectrolyte hydration: Theory and experiment

Abstract: A short review of recent theoretical and experimental advances in studies of polyelectrolyte solutions is presented. The focus is on ion-specific effects as revealed in measurements of osmotic pressure and enthalpy of dilution. We review the experimental results for two different polyelectrolyte systems: (i) salts of polyanetholesulfonic acid, and (ii) aliphatic ionenes (polycations) in aqueous solution with various counterions. A theoretical approach based on the extension of Wertheim's integral equation theo… Show more

“…Most hydrocolloids including HPMC and LBG are polyelectrolytes and the charged groups per molecule of hydrocolloids ensure hydration strongly. Thus, the presence of an ionic agent causes the complex behavior of charged groups, and leads to changes in the rheological properties of the hydrocolloid (Vlachy, ). In addition, the hydrodynamic volume that is the length scale associated directly with changes in viscosity of hydrocolloid mixtures depends on variation of pH and ionic strength, resulting in loss of complex viscosity (Scheraga & Mandelkern, ).…”

“…Ion hydration 129 and ion binding (association) 130 are also pertinent features in aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions. Under the term polyelectrolyte (PE) we here include (more or less) linear, multiply-charged polymers, like DNA, that posess a (more or less) regular charge distribution; PEs stricto senso; and micelles formed by ionic surfactants.…”

“…Remarkable ion-specific effects have also been observed in synthetic polyelectrolytes aqueous solutions . In such a system, the molecular interactions are generally controlled by the long-range nonspecific electrostatic forces at low electrolyte concentrations.…”
