Density functional theory for planer electric double layers: Closing the gap between simple and polyelectrolytes

Article Abstract:

Nonlocal density functional theory (NDFT) for polyelectrolyte solutions within the primitive model, the solvent, is represented by a continuous dielectric medium, and the small ions and polyions by single and tangentially connected charged hard particles are reported. The NDFT was also used to investigate the influences of the small ion valence, polyion chain length, and size disparity between polyion segments and counterions on the microscopic structure, and overcharging in planner electric double layers containing polyelectrolytes.

Interactions between sulfobetaine-based polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes

Article Abstract:

The interactions between sulfobetaine-based polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes, either positive or negative ones (poly(DADMAC)s and poly(AA)s), are examined. The association of a polyzwitterion and a polyelectrolyte is controlled, altered, enhanced or suppressed by very small changes in the molecular structure of the zwitterionic function.
