Charge Regulation of Polyelectrolyte Gels: Swelling Transition
Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1
We study the effects of charge-regulated acid/base equilibrium on the swelling of polyelectrolyte gels, by considering a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann theory and a two-site…

Phase Separation of Polyelectrolytes: The Effect of Charge Regulation
Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1
Complex coacervation, known as the liquid-liquid phase separation of solutions with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, has attracted substantial interest in recent years. We stud…

Orienting thin films of lamellar block copolymer: the combined effect of mobile ions and electric field
B. Zheng, X. -K. Man, Z. C. Ou-Yang +2
We study thin films of A/B diblock copolymer in a lamellar phase confined between two parallel plates (electrodes) that impose a constant voltage across the film. The weak-segregat…
