Charged polymers are macromolecules with ionizable groups. These polymeric systems
demonstrate unique properties that are qualitatively different from their neutral counterparts …

The dielectric and conductometric properties of aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions present a
very complex phenomenology, not yet completely understood, differing from the properties …

This article recapitulates the state of the art regarding simulations of ionization equilibria of
weak polyelectrolyte solutions and gels. We start out by reviewing the essential …

We present results of the molecular dynamics simulations of salt solutions of polyelectrolyte
chains with number of monomers N= 300. Polyelectrolyte solutions are modeled as an …

Hydrophobic base stacking is a major contributor to DNA double-helix stability. We report
the discovery of specific unstacking effects in certain semihydrophobic environments. Water …

In this chapter we review recent advances which have been achieved in the theoretical
description and understanding of polyelectrolyte solutions. We will discuss an improved …

We study the salt-dependent conformations of dilute flexible polyelectrolytes in solution via
computer simulations. Low concentrations of multivalent salt induce the known …

The thermoresponsive and pH-sensitive behavior of poly (N, N-dimethylaminoethyl
methacrylate)(PDMAEMA), poly (N, N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate)(PDEAEMA), and poly …

Conformational changes of poly (vinylamine)(PVA) upon adsorption onto mica were
determined by AFM. The polyelectrolyte charge can be tuned through the solution pH. At pH …

In this work we study the titration behavior of weak polyelectrolytes by computer simulations.
We analyze the local pH near the chains at various conditions and provide molecular-level …
