Metallo-polyelectrolytes as a class of ionic macromolecules for functional materials
Polyelectrolytes are a class of macromolecules containing charged groups. Here the authors review properties and functions of metallo-polyelectrolytes to shed light on how to harness fundamental physiochemical properties for applications in biomedical ...

Solvation and Dissociation in Weakly Ionized Polyelectrolytes [PDF]
We present a Ginzburg-Landau theory of inhomogeneous polyelectrolytes with a polar solvent. First, we take into account the molecular (solvation) interaction among the ions, the charged monomers, the uncharged monomers, and the solvent molecules ...

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that determining the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and formulating a shampoo at this precise concentration would provide equivalent cleaning and foaming performance to a conventional ...

Smart, Naturally-Derived Macromolecules for Controlled Drug Release
A series of troxerutin-based macromolecules with ten poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) homopolymer side chains were synthesized by a supplemental activator and reducing agent atom transfer radical ...

Random Polyelectrolytes and Polyampholytes in Solution
The behavior of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. Various statistical charge distributions along the polyelectrolyte chains are considered: smeared, annealed, permuted and quenched.

From the double-stranded helix to the chiral nematic phase of B-DNA: a molecular model
B-DNA solutions of suitable concentration form left-handed chiral nematic phases (cholesterics). Such phases have also been observed in solutions of other stiff or semiflexible chiral polymers; magnitude and handedness of the cholesteric pitch are ...

POLYMERIZATION BY INTERACTION α-HALOACRYLIC ACIDS WITH TERTIARY AMINES
The results of spontaneous polymerization of α-chloroacrylic and α-bromoacrylic acids with tertiary amines at a low temperature are presented. As a result of spontaneous polymerization during the interaction of α-halodacrylic acids with tertiary amines ...
