Abstract
We present a model for polyelectrolyte solutions within the binding mean spherical approximation. An approach developed previously, to describe polyelectrolytic chain solutions and on the other hand to describe the association of counterions on spherical polyions is generalized, considering both the polyelectrolytic chain formation and the association of counterions on the chains. Thermodynamic properties deduced from this model are presented. The associative part of the Helmholtz energy is deduced from the thermodynamic perturbation theory. Analytic expressions for the electrostatic contributions to the internal and Helmholtz energies are established.
