Question

1. Explain how polyelectrolytes work in clarifying solutions. When would you use cationic polyelectrolytes and when would you use anionic polyelectrolytes?

Answer 1

Polyelectrolytes are polymers whose repeats contain electrolyte groups. Polys and Polynesians are polyclinicides. These groups are subdivided into a (water) solution, which makes the polymers charged. In this way, the polymeric properties are similar to electrolytes (salts) and polymers (compounds have a high molecular weight) and are sometimes referred to as polymers. Like salt, their solution is electronic. Like polymers, their solutions are often viscous. The charged molecular chains often present in soft matter systems play an important role in determining the stability and interaction of different molecular groups. The methodological theories in describing their statistical properties are quite different from their electronic neutral counterparts, as the technology and industry sectors use their features. Many biological molecules are polysaccharides. For example, polypeptides, glycosaminoglycans and DNA are polyelectrolytes. Both natural and synthetic polymers are used in various industries.
