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 …

The adsorption of large ions from solution to a charged surface is investigated theoretically.
A generalized Poisson-Boltzmann equation which takes into account the finite size of the …

We study theoretically the adsorption of semiflexible charged polymers on an oppositely
charged flat substrate. We restrict ourselves to polymers with relatively high line charge …

The use of polymer and polymer-surfactant mixtures for designing and developing textile
and personal care cosmetic formulations is associated with various physico-chemical …

A mechanism for the formation of polyelectrolyte multilayers is proposed. All of the
experiments on such systems show that there is strong interpenetration of consecutive …

We have developed a scaling theory of polyelectrolyte adsorption at an oppositely charged
surface. At low surface charge densities, we predict two-dimensional adsorbed layers with …

We discuss theoretically the adsorption of linear weakly charged polyelectrolyte solutions on
an oppositely charged solid surface using the classical self-consistent mean field theory. If …

We report experimental results and a theoretical analysis of the Debye length in aqueous
solutions of nonadsorbing polyelectrolytes. The measurements were done using a surface …

By using off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations, the conditions of adsorption of a uniformly
charged polyelectrolyte onto oppositely charged planar and spherical surfaces have been …
