Complex coacervation is an associative, liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in
solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecular species, such as proteins, polymers, and …

There has been increasing interest in complex coacervates for deriving and transporting
biomaterials. Complex coacervates are a dense, polyelectrolyte‐rich liquid that results from …

Polyelectrolyte complexes are omnipresent both in nature and in the technological world,
including nucleotide condensates, biological marine adhesives, food stabilizers …

Liquid–liquid phase separation is responsible for formation of P granules, nucleoli, and
other membraneless subcellular organelles composed of RNA and proteins. Efforts to …

Polyelectrolyte complexes, PECs, are spontaneously formed blends of polyelectrolytes
bearing positive, Pol+, and negative, Pol–, repeat units. Many interesting PEC morphologies …

When aqueous solutions of polycations and polyanions are mixed, polyelectrolyte
complexes form. These are usually insoluble in water, so that they separate out as a new …

When oppositely charged polymers are mixed, counterion release drives phase separation;
understanding this process is a key unsolved problem in polymer science and biophysical …

Polyelectrolytes are an important class of polymeric materials and are increasingly used in
complex industrial formulations. A core use of these materials is in mixtures with surfactants …

Highly disordered complexes between oppositely charged intrinsically disordered proteins
present a new paradigm of biomolecular interactions. Here, we investigate the driving forces …

Polyelectrolyte-colloid coacervation could be viewed as a sub-category of complex
coacervation, but is unique in (1) retaining the structure and properties of the colloid, and (2) …
