Abstract

Any molecule, aggregate or particle carrying a large number of charges constitutes a polyelectrolyte. More usually, however, the term is applied to long chain polymer molecules whose repeating building block contains an ionizable group. There are polyacids, polybases or poly ampholytes, depending upon whether the ionizable centers are all anionic, all cationic or whether a mixture of acidic and basic groups occurs in the chain. When dissolved in water the groups ionize and electrical interactions arise between the charges created on the polymer surface and the small free ions in the solution. The potential energy associated with the system is altered and changes in the mean shape of the flexible macromolecules and in the free ion distribution will arise.
