Complex coacervation is an associative, liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in
solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecular species, such as proteins, polymers, and …

For more than a decade, the discovery of liquid–liquid phase separation within living
organisms has prompted colloid scientists to understand the connection between …

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates of homologous (co) polyelectrolytes with a near-ideally
random distribution of a charged and neutral ethylene oxide comonomer were synthesized …

Polyelectrolytes (PEs) are macromolecules that possess repeating units of ionizable groups
in addition to counterions. Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) emanate from the entropy …

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) offer enormous material tunability and desirable
functionalities, and consequently have found broad utility in biomedical and material …

In recent years, polyelectrolyte-incorporated functional materials have emerged as novel
adsorbents for effective remediation of pollutants in water and wastewater. Polyelectrolytes …

Polymer complex fibers (PCFs) are a novel kind of fiber material processed from polymer
complexes that are assembled through noncovalent interactions. These can realize the …

The global society is in a transition, where dealing with climate change and water scarcity
are important challenges. More efficient separations of chemical species are essential to …

Here, we explore the effect of copolymer chemistry on the phase behavior and viscoelasticity
of complex coacervates. To this end, we utilized a library of methacrylate copolymers with …

Significant parallels exist between the phase separation behavior of polymers in solution
and the types of biomolecular condensates, or 'membraneless organelles,'that are of …
