Charge Regulation in Crowded Solutions of a Weak Polyelectrolyte: Steric Interactions
Weak polyelectrolytes (WPE) solvated in biorelevant media and synthetic complex fluids that contain substantial concentrations of macromolecules, molecular assemblies, and nanoparticles are observed to exhibit deviations from the acid–base equilibrium observed in single‐component solutions.
