Relaxation Behavior by Time-Salt and Time-Temperature Superpositions of Polyelectrolyte Complexes from Coacervate to Precipitate

open access: yesGels, 2018
Complexation between anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes results in solid-like precipitates or liquid-like coacervate depending on the added salt in the aqueous medium.

Electrostatic analysis of the charged surface in a solution via the finite element method: The Poisson-Boltzmann theory [PDF]

open access: yesAUT Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2016
Electrostatic potential as well as the local volume charge density are computed for a macromolecule by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) using the finite element method (FEM). As a verification, our numerical results for a one dimensional PBE,

Mechanical deformation affects the condensation of counterions in highly swollen polyelectrolyte hydrogels.

open access: yes, 2023
Polyelectrolyte gels can generate electric potentials under mechanical deformation. While the underlying mechanism of such response is often attributed to the changes in counterion-condensation levels or alterations in the ionic conditions in the ...

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
