Abstract
A new model is proposed for the polyelectrolyte solutions in order to explain their dynamical behavior. The electrolytic solvent is assumed to be decomposed into the ordinary viscous fluid and a charged fiuid superposed on it. Each of the polymer molecules dissolved into these two fluids is represented by a point-charge distribution {τ α i } on i -th segment in α-th chain. The charge τ α i =1 or 0 is treated as a stochastic variable. It is assumed that the two fluids are independent of each other when any electric matter is absent in the solvent and that they are coupled only via charged polymers. Dynamical equations of these three constituents are set up in a self-consistent manner. Edwards and Freed's theory is used to solve them.
