From the beginning of life with the information-containing polymers until the present era of a
plethora of water-based materials in health care industry and biotechnology, polyelectrolytes …

Polyelectrolytes are polymers carrying either positively or negatively charged ionizable
groups. The properties of these polymers in solutions and at charged surfaces depend on …

Chain-like macromolecules (polymers) show characteristic adsorption properties due to their
flexibility and internal degrees of freedom, when attracted to surfaces and interfaces. In this …

Harvesting energy from various ambient mechanical vibrations and motions is a promising
green technology to provide electrical power for integrated electronic devices or sensors …

A variety of experimental and theoretical approaches show that, akin to linear polymers,
dendrimers in good solvent conditions are best described as flexible macromolecular …

Charged polymers are macromolecules with ionizable groups. These polymeric systems
demonstrate unique properties that are qualitatively different from their neutral counterparts …

The dielectric and conductometric properties of aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions present a
very complex phenomenology, not yet completely understood, differing from the properties …

Charges on biological polymers in physiologically relevant solution conditions are strongly
screened by water and salt solutions containing counter-ions. However, the entropy of these …

The collapse of flexible polyelectrolytes in a solution of multivalent counterions is studied by
means of a two state model. The states correspond to rodlike and spherically collapsed …

We consider the problem of charge correlations in self-coacervate phases of
polyampholytes and disordered proteins with different monomer sequences. An analytical …
