1 Introduction
Tremendous efforts have been made to understand the properties of polymeric systems in solution – including: homopolymer/solvent, mixture of two homopolymers in a solvent, diblock copolymer/solvent, charged polymers (polyelectrolytes), etc. – as well as in the bulk state from theoretical and experimental points of view. Several nanoscale level models have been developed for the structure (size, shape, interactions, short-range or long-range order), organization (ordered films) and the dynamics (relaxation modes, diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic sizes etc.) of these fascinating materials that are at the origin of many industrial applications (new materials, food, cosmetic, transport, etc.). In the homogeneous and disordered state, the solution properties result in different types of interactions involving the notion of excluded volume interactions between monomers of different species and the solvent, introduced by Flory [1]. In charged polymers (polyelectrolytes)...
