  • What are the different types of polyelectrolytes?
  • According to their ionic charge, polyelectrolytes have been classified into four different categories. Cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes are more commonly used in water treatment. Polymers with no charged group are known as non-ionic polymers.
  • How are polyelectrolytes distinguished from neutral polymer?
  • Polyelectrolytes are distinguished from neutral polymer with the presence of covalently attached ionic groups [3, 5]. Polyelectrolytes carry charged or chargeable groups . The degree of dissociation is controlled by some parameters such as solution pH, temperature, the ionic strength [16, 17].
  • What are the properties of polyelectrolytes?
  • In particular, being polyelectrolytes, the distribution of positive and negative charges along the chain defines the charge distribution and charge density (local and global), properties which intensely affect chain conformation in solution, and interactions between molecules of the same polymer, as well as with other species in solution .
  • What are the key features of polymeric polyelectrolytes?
  • The key features or operations of polymeric polyelectrolytes are in their ability to use their charged character either to cause precipitation and separation of suspended materials in solution through charge neutralization or the suspension of particles in solution via charge repulsion .
