Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates represent a wide class of materials with applications
ranging from coatings and adhesives to pharmaceutical technologies. They also underpin …

Polyelectrolytes are polymers with repeating units of ionizable groups coupled with
counterions. Recently, polyelectrolytes have drawn significant attention as highly promising …

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates of homologous (co) polyelectrolytes with a near-ideally
random distribution of a charged and neutral ethylene oxide comonomer were synthesized …

Molecular dynamics simulations with generic bead–spring models have been instrumental
in revealing the molecular-scale behavior that underlies structure–property relationships of …

Abstract 3D bioprinting is a powerful fabrication technique in biomedical engineering, which
is currently limited by the number of available materials that meet all physicochemical and …

This work studies the structure and thermodynamics of the supernatant phase in
polyelectrolyte complex coacervation, a relatively unexplored area. By combining the cluster …

We develop a scaling theory for the structure and dynamics of “hybrid” complex coacervates
formed from linear polyelectrolytes (PEs) and oppositely charged spherical colloids, such as …

The rheology of complex coacervates can be elegantly tuned via the design and control of
specific non-covalent hydrophobic interactions between the complexed polymer chains. The …

Resulting from the dense packing of subnanometer molecular clusters, molecular granular
materials (MGMs) are shown to maintain high elasticity far above their apparent glass …

Breaking the paradigm that polymers in crowded aqueous media obey Einstein's law of
diffusion, we report a localized nondiffusive hierarchical metastable state at intermediate …
