Abstract
We perform a general thermodynamic analysis for the salt partitioning behavior in the coexisting phases for symmetric mixtures of polycation and polyanion solutions. We find that salt partitioning is determined by the competition between two factors involving the ratio of the polyelectrolyte concentration in the coacervate phase to that in the supernatant phase and the difference in the exchange excess chemical potential Δμ_(ex) -- the...
