Divalent cation-mediated polyanion attraction in an aqueous solution

Published: March 06, 2023

We clarify the mechanism through which multi-valent ions result in polyelectrolyte precipitation and present design principles for polyelectrolytes with higher calcium tolerance values.

Structure of polyelectrolyte and multi-valent ion complexes

Published: March 06, 2023

We present our findings on the polyelectrolyte-calcium binding energetics, comment on the preferential calcium binding sites on a polyelectrolyte backbone, and present a technique to calculate the calcium adsorption isotherm.
