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

The creation of matter with varying degrees of complexities and desired functions is one of
the ultimate targets of self-assembly. The ability to regulate the complex interactions …

When aqueous solutions of polycations and polyanions are mixed, polyelectrolyte
complexes form. These are usually insoluble in water, so that they separate out as a new …

Polyelectrolyte complexes, PECs, are spontaneously formed blends of polyelectrolytes
bearing positive, Pol+, and negative, Pol–, repeat units. Many interesting PEC morphologies …

There has been increasing interest in complex coacervates for deriving and transporting
biomaterials. Complex coacervates are a dense, polyelectrolyte‐rich liquid that results from …

Oppositely charged polymers can undergo the process of complex coacervation, which
refers to a liquid–liquid phase separation driven by electrostatic attraction. These materials …

When oppositely charged polyelectrolytes are mixed below a critical salt concentration, their
mixtures show macroscopic phase separation into a dilute and a dense, polyelectrolyte …

If the most important parameters affecting protein–polysaccharide interactions are now well
documented, recent advances concern the structure-building kinetics, thermodynamics and …

Double‐hydrophilic block copolymers are a new class of amphiphilic molecules of rapidly
increasing importance with unique and fascinating properties potentially connecting …

In this review we present an overview of the literature on the co-assembly of neutral-ionic
block, graft, and random copolymers with oppositely charged species in aqueous solution …
