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

From the beginning of life with the information-containing polymers until the present era of a
plethora of water-based materials in health care industry and biotechnology, polyelectrolytes …

This review highlights advancements made in anion exchange membrane (AEM) head
groups, polymer structures and membrane synthesis methods. Limitations of current …

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

Polyelectrolytes are polymers carrying either positively or negatively charged ionizable
groups. The properties of these polymers in solutions and at charged surfaces depend on …

Dynamic RNA molecules carry out essential processes in the cell including translation and
splicing. Base-pair interactions stabilize RNA into relatively rigid structures, while flexible …

Highly disordered complexes between oppositely charged intrinsically disordered proteins
present a new paradigm of biomolecular interactions. Here, we investigate the driving forces …
