“…The values of R g-Complex obtained using eqn (11) The cationic polyelectrolyte strongly influences the behavior of the complex, as can be seen from eqn (11), where the values of R + g obtained from the simulations decrease more rapidly than the factor containing the growth of the anionic chain, (1 + z) 1/2 . As can be observed, for 0.1 M of NaCl, a drastic conformational change occurs at about d = 60%.…”

“…This is the case of polyelectrolyte complexes, materials formed with opposed-charge macromolecules [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . The self-assembly of these polyelectrolytes is relatively complicated and depends not only on the electrostatic interactions, but also on chain conformation of the polyelectrolytes and on counterion entropy variations.…”

“…[1][2][3] This is the case of polyelectrolyte complexes, materials formed with oppositely-charged macromolecules. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The self-assembly of these polyelectrolytes is relatively complicated and depends not only on the electrostatic interactions, but also on chain conformation of the polyelectrolytes and on counterion entropy variations. The development of polyelectrolyte complexes as biomaterials has theoretical and experimental interest because the complexation of proteins with polyelectrolytes is the basis of processes such as protein purification, enzyme immobilization, immunosensing, and the design of bioactive sensors.…”

The mechanism of complex formation of two oppositely charged linear polyelectrolytes dispersed in a solvent is investigated by using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation. In the polyelectrolyte solution, the size of the cationic polyelectrolyte remains constant while the size of the anionic chain increases. We analyze the influence of the anionic polyelectrolyte size and salt effect (ionic strength) on the conformational changes of the chains during complex formation. The behavior of the radial distribution function, the end-to-end distance and the radius of gyration of each polyelectrolyte is examined. These results showed that the effectiveness of complex formation is strongly influenced by the process of counterion release from the polyelectrolyte chains. The radius of gyration of the complex is estimated using the Fox-Flory equation for a wormlike polymer in a theta solvent. The addition of salts in the medium accelerates the complex formation process, affecting its radius of gyration. Depending on the ratio of chain lengths a compact complex or a loosely bound elongated structure can be formed.

“…Their solubility is largely dependent on concentration, ionic strength, and in the case of weak polyelectrolytes, solution pH. [29][30][31] The ame retardant PECs were kept stable at high pH and deposited onto fabric. Aer drying, the PEC was rendered water-insoluble by exposure to an acidic buffer solution (Fig.…”
