Polyelectrolytes are a class of polymers possessing ionic groups on their repeating units.
Since counterions can dissociate from the polymer backbone, polyelectrolyte chains are …

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a well-established technique for studying
dynamic processes and interactions with minimal invasion into the corresponding system …

The rheology of water-soluble polyelectrolytes at intermediate and high concentrations is
controlled by entanglement, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, whose influences …

Double network hydrogels (DN gels) exhibit extraordinarily high strength and toughness by
interplay of the two contrasting networks: the rigid, brittle network serves as a sacrificial bond …

Measurements of the capillary-driven thinning and breakup of fluid filaments are widely used
to extract the extensional rheological properties of complex materials. For viscoelastic fluids …

Viscosity data for aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) as a
function of polymer concentration (c), added salt concentration (c S), and degree of …

We investigated the pitches of cholesteric liquid crystals prepared by mixing disodium
cromoglycate (DSCG) in water with 5 different water-soluble chiral additives. The …

Polymers and rod-like colloids (PaRC) adopt a favorable orientation under sufficiently strong
flows. However, how the flow kinematics affect the alignment of such nanostructures …

We report results of small angle neutron scattering measurements made on sodium
polystyrene sulfonate in aqueous salt solutions. The correlation length (ξ) and osmotic …

Mesoscopic structure of pectin with different molecular characteristics was investigated by
means of small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS), electrokinetic measurements and data …
