Charge differences between anion- and cation-selective membranes: theoretical and model-analysis implications for polyelectrolyte gel formation.
In biomedical applications, salt is added to low-molecular-weight polyelectrolytes, thereby forming gels that are electrostatically stabilized. We show that inclusion of highly charged species in gels leads to band broadening of electrophoretic separation of ions; this broadening strongly increases with the number of weakly charged 50e0806aeb balcar
