When two solutions of oppositely charged polymers (polyelectrolytes) are mixed, phase separation occurs and leads to the formation of a polymer-rich phase and a supernatant phase. The precise ...

Electrostatic interactions and polyelectrolyte complexation can be used in the self-assembly of a wide range of responsive, bioinspired soft materials ranging from dehydrated thin films, fibers, and ...

For years, we've known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a "polyelectrolyte complex" helps your cells keep themselves organized. These complexes are very good at forming interfaces to ...

The adsorption of organic molecules to interfaces is offering a variety of possibilities for the design of novel materials with structures defined on a nanometer scale. So-called ...

Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level, ...

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Strong polyelectrolyte brushes are widely used ...

The zeta potential of polyethylenimine (PEI) is measured as a function of polymer concentration with the SZ-100 Nanoparticle Analyzer. There is a negative relationship between Zeta potential and ...

For years, we’ve known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a “polyelectrolyte complex” helps your cells keep themselves organized. These complexes are very good at forming interfaces to ...

Previously, self-mending polymeric materials based on physical crosslinking or external stimuli – such as heat and light – have been successfully developed and employed for the mechanical recovery and ...
