Interactions between rigid polyelectrolytes mediated by ordering and orientation of multivalent nonspherical ions in salt solutions
Multivalent ions in solutions with polyelectrolytes (PEs) induce electrostatic correlations that
can drastically change ion distributions around the PEs and their mutual interactions. Using …

Nonmonotonic electrophoretic mobility of rodlike polyelectrolytes by multivalent coions in added salt
It is well established that when multivalent counterions or salts are added to a solution of
highly charged polyelectrolytes (PEs), correlation effects can cause charge inversion of the …

Effects of monovalent and divalent cations on the rheology of entangled DNA
J Harnett, S Weir, D Michieletto - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
In this paper we investigate the effects of varying cation valency and concentration on the
rheology of entangled λDNA solutions. We show that monovalent cations moderately …
