Abstract

AbstractWe synthesize a quantitative theory for the radius of gyration, second virial coefficient, intrinsic viscosity, and friction coefficient for polyelectroytes in dilute solution from existing treatments of electrostatic and hydrodynamic interactions within and among wormlike chains. Comparison with data for K‐PSS demonstrates the importance of accounting for nonlinearities in the electrostatics and the finite diameter of the polymer backbone.
