Interaction of Linear Polyelectrolytes with Proteins: Role of Specific Charge–Charge Interaction and Ionic Strength by Julia Bukala, Prabhusrinivas Yavvari, Jacek J. Walkowiak, Matthias Ballauff, Marie Weinhart

“…We present a thermodynamic study of the interaction of synthetic, linear polyelectrolytes with bovine serum albumin (BSA). All polyelectrolytes are based on poly(allyl glycidyl ether) which has been modified by polymer-analogous reaction with anionic (-SO₃Na), cationic (-NH₃Cl or -NHMe₂Cl) or zwitterionic groups (-NMe₂(CH₂)₃SO₃). …”

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) obtained from chitosan and carboxymethylcellulose: A physicochemical and microstructural study by Danielle Cristine Mota Ferreira, Sukarno Olavo Ferreira, Elson Santiago de Alvarenga, Nilda de Fátima Ferreira Soares, Jane Sélia dos Reis Coimbra, Eduardo Basílio de Oliveira

“…Effects of chitosan (CHS) to carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) mixing ratio (1:0; 4:1; 3:1; 2:1; 1:1; 1:2; 1:3; 1:4; 0:1), temperature (25; 45; 65; 85 °C), and pH (3.0; 3.5; 4.0; 4,5) on obtaining of macro- and micro-polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) were investigated. Mixing ratio 1:2 and 25 °C maximized the biopolymers' interactions and the formation of macro-PECs (macroscopic structures), independent of the pH. …”

Electroconvective viscous fingering in a single polyelectrolyte fluid on a charge selective surface by Jeonghwan Kim, Joonhyeon Kim, Minyoung Kim, Rhokyun Kwak

“…Here, we demonstrate a hitherto-unrealizable viscous fingering in a single fluid-solid interface. In a single polyelectrolyte fluid on a charge selective surface, selective ion rejection through the surface initiates i) stepwise ion concentration and viscosity gradient boundaries in the fluid and ii) electroconvective vortices on the surface. …”

Electrochemical Properties of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Anion Exchange Membranes Coated with Cation Exchange Polyelectrolyte by Xenia Nebavskaya, Veronika Sarapulova, Dmitrii Butylskii, Christian Larchet, Natalia Pismenskaya

“…Coating ion exchange membranes with polyelectrolyte has been proven to be a cheap way to reduce concentration polarization and increase limiting current (for polyelectrolytes carrying fixed groups of the same sign of charge with respect to the membrane bulk), to create high monovalent selectivity, and to add the function of H+/OH− ions generation (for polyelectrolytes bearing fixed groups of the opposite sign of charge with respect to the membrane bulk). …”
