Conformation of Sodium Poly(4-styrenesulfonate) Macromolecules in Aqueous Solutions

摘要

Polyelectrolytes play a decisive role in vital processes, are used in many technological applications, and have long been of interest to researchers. The equilibrium rigidity of polyelectrolyte molecules is determined by both the chemical structure of the repeat unit and the electrostatic component depending on the linear charge density on the chain and the ionic strength of a solution.
